Philippians 1:12-18

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,
