Philippians 1:10-22

10that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,

11being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which [is] by Jesus Christ, to 1God's glory and praise.

12But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the glad tidings,

13so that my bonds have become manifest [as being] in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others;

14and that the most of the brethren, trusting in [the] Lord through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word of 2God fearlessly.

15Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.

16These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings;

17but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds.

18What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;

19for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and [the] supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;

20according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but in all boldness, as always, now also Christ shall be magnified in my body whether by life or by death.

21For for me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain;

22but if to live in flesh [is my lot], this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.
