Philippians 1:12-18

12Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances 1have turned out for the greater progress of the 2gospel, 13so that my 3 4imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole 5praetorian guard and to 6everyone else, 14and that most of the 7brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my 8 9imprisonment, have 10far more courage to speak the word of God without fear. 15 11Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even 12from envy and strife, but some also 13from good will; 16the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the 14gospel; 17the former proclaim Christ 15out of selfish ambition 16rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my 17 18imprisonment. 18What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice.

Yes, and I will rejoice,
