Philippians 1:10-22

10That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;12 11Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

12But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened to me have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel; 13So that my bonds in Christ are known in all the palace, and in all other places ;345 14And many of the brethren in the Lord, being more confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife; and some also from good will: 16The one preach Christ from contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17But the other from love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I in this do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 19For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20According to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

21For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I know not.
