It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.
Phil 1:7
What does Paul mean here by the statement partakers of grace in his imprisonment. Is Paul trying to get at that God is showing him favor by sustaining him, giving him opportunities to share the gospel, strengthening his faith etc. And that God is doing this for Paul even though he is in prison. And because the Philippians were supporting Paul through prayers and financial means that they too were partners in this. I guess my question is how is the word grace being used here, especially in regards to the Philippians.
