Philippians 1:12–18
1:12 I want you to know, brothers and sisters,17 that my situation has actually turned out to advance the gospel:18 1:13 The19 whole imperial guard20 and everyone else knows21 that I am in prison22 for the sake of Christ, 1:14 and most of the brothers and sisters,23 having confidence in the Lord24 because of my imprisonment, now more than ever25 dare to speak the word26 fearlessly.
1:15 Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill. 1:16 The latter do so from love because they know that I am placed here for the defense of the gospel. 1:17 The former proclaim Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, because they think they can cause trouble for me in my imprisonment.27 1:18 What is the result? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed, and in this I rejoice.
Yes,28 and I will continue to rejoice,
