Philippians 1:10-22

10so thatG1519 youG4771 may be able to test and proveG1381 whatG3588 is bestG1308 and may beG1510 pureG1506 andG2532 blamelessG677 forG1519 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547, 11filledG4137 with the fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 thatG3588 comes throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, toG1519 the gloryG1391 andG2532 praiseG1868 of GodG2316.

12NowG1161 I wantG1014 youG4771 to knowG1097, brothersG80, thatG3754 my circumstancesG3588G2596G1473 have actuallyG3123 servedG2064 toG1519 advanceG4297 theG3588 gospelG2098. 13As a resultG5620, it has becomeG1096 clearG5318 throughoutG1722 theG3588 wholeG3650 palace guardG42321 andG2532 toG3588 everyoneG3956 elseG3062 that I amG1473 in chainsG1199 forG1722 ChristG5547. 14AndG2532 mostG4119 of theG3588 brothersG80, confidentG3982 inG1722 the LordG2962 byG3588 myG1473 chainsG1199, now dareG5111 more greatlyG4057 to speakG2980 theG3588 wordG30562 without fearG870.

15It is true thatG3303 someG5100 preachG2784 ChristG5547 out ofG1223 envyG5355 andG2532 rivalryG2054, butG1161 others out ofG1223 goodwillG2107. 16TheG3588 latter do soG3303 inG1537 loveG26, knowingG1492 thatG3754 I am appointedG2749 forG1519 the defenseG627 of theG3588 gospelG2098.3 17TheG3588 former, howeverG1161, preachG2605G3588 ChristG5547 out ofG1537 selfish ambitionG2052, notG3756 sincerelyG55, supposing thatG3633 they can add toG1453 the distressG2347 of myG1473 chainsG1199.

18WhatG5101 thenG1063 is the issue?4 Just thisG4133: thatG3754 in everyG3956 wayG5158, whetherG1535 by false motivesG4392 orG1535 trueG225, ChristG5547 is preachedG2605. AndG2532 inG1722 thisG3778 I rejoiceG5463. YesG235, andG2532 I will continue to rejoiceG5463, 19becauseG1063 I knowG1492 thatG3754 throughG1223 yourG4771 prayersG1162 andG2532 the provisionG2024 of theG3588 SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, my distress will turn outG576 for myG1473G1519 deliveranceG4991. 20IG1473 eagerly expectG603 andG2532 hopeG1680 thatG3754 I will in no way be ashamedG153G1722G3762, butG235 will have complete boldnessG1722G3956G3954 so thatG2532 nowG3568 asG5613 alwaysG3842 ChristG5547 will be exaltedG3170 inG1722 myG1473 bodyG4983, whetherG1535 byG1223 lifeG2222 orG1535 byG1223 deathG2288.

21ForG1063 to meG1473, to liveG2198 is ChristG5547, andG2532 to dieG599 is gainG2771. 22ButG1161 ifG1487 I go on livingG2198 inG1722 the bodyG4561, thisG3778 will mean fruitfulG2590 laborG2041 for meG1473. SoG2532 whatG5101 shall I chooseG138? I do not knowG3756G1107.
