It was written during Paul’s imprisonment in Rome, about thirty years after Christ’s ascension and about ten years after Paul first preached at Philippi.
Kiliandikwa kipindi ambacho Paulo alikuwa amefungwa katika Roma, karibu miaka thelathini baada ya Kristo kupaa na karibu miaka kumi baada ya Paulo kuhubiri huko Filipi kwa mara ya kwanza.
