Philippians 1:16-21

16Those who tell the message about Christ out of love know that God has put me here to defend the Good News.

17But the others are insincere. They tell the message about Christ out of selfish ambition in order to stir up trouble for me while I’m in prison.

18But what does it matter? Nothing matters except that, in one way or another, people are told the message about Christ, whether with honest or dishonest motives, and I’m happy about that. Yes, I will continue to be happy

19for another reason. I know that I will be set free through your prayers and through the help that comes from the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

20I eagerly expect and hope that I will have nothing to be ashamed of. I will speak very boldly and honor Christ in my body, now as always, whether I live or die.

21Christ means everything to me in this life, and when I die I’ll have even more.
