Philippians 1:10

8 God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,

so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
