Philippians 1:14-18

14and that most of the 1brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my 2 3imprisonment, have 4far more courage to speak the word of God without fear. 15 5Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even 6from envy and strife, but some also 7from good will; 16the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the 8gospel; 17the former proclaim Christ 9out of selfish ambition 10rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my 11 12imprisonment. 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,
