Philippians 1:10-16

10For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return.

11May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God.

12And I want you to know, my dear brothers and sisters, that everything that has happened to me here has helped to spread the Good News.

13For everyone here, including the whole palace guard, knows that I am in chains because of Christ.

14And because of my imprisonment, most of the believers here have gained confidence and boldly speak God’s message without fear.

15It’s true that some are preaching out of jealousy and rivalry. But others preach about Christ with pure motives.

16They preach because they love me, for they know I have been appointed to defend the Good News.
