Philippians 1:10-16

10so that you can decide what is best, and thus be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ,

11filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

12I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that my situation has actually turned out to advance the gospel:

13The whole imperial guard and everyone else knows that I am in prison for the sake of Christ,

14and most of the brothers and sisters, having confidence in the Lord because of my imprisonment, now more than ever dare to speak the word fearlessly.

15Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill.

16The latter do so from love because they know that I am placed here for the defense of the gospel.
