A. Philippians is a letter from Paul to the church in the city of Philippi.
1. Philippi was an important city in the Roman province of Macedonia
(Acts 16:12). It was granted the status of a Roman colony around 30 B.C., which meant
"the city was treated as if on Italian soil, was ruled by Roman law, and had greater
freedom with Roman provincial governors; there was automatic citizenship for people
born in the city; and people could sell and buy land and had exemption from certain land taxes, and were entitled to Roman protection." (1)
