In Acts 4:23, released apostles go to their friends and report—same pattern as Paul going to Lydia’s house to encourage believers after release.

In 1 Thessalonians 3:3, Paul reminds believers that afflictions are destined — the very thing they were encouraging the Philippians about after their own imprisonment.
