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.
Isinulat ito ni Pablo habang nakabilanggo siya sa Roma may tatlumpong taon pagkatapos na umakyat ng Panginoong Hesus sa langit at may sampung taon pagkatapos na mangaral ni Pablo sa Filipos.
