2 Corinthians 6:5; In Stripes, In Imprisonments
2 Corinthians 6:5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
It was in Philippi that the Apostle Paul had to endure beatings and cast into prison. But it was in the prison that the Philippian’s chief guard was saved together with his family. God wrought a miracle to deliver him by an earthquake that caused all the doors of the prison to be opened and his chains freed. He did not run away. It startled the prison keeper to come to faith in Jesus Christ.
Whilst the Apostle Paul and Silas were in prison, in their pain and captivity they praised God. What peace God gave them! This is recorded in Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
