Some people, indeed, are proclaiming Christ out of envy and strife [i.e., out of rivalry], while others do it from goodwill.

But the others preach Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely, hoping to stir up trouble for me while I am in prison.

Yet [on the other hand], to remain in my body is more necessary for your sakes.

Do not do anything from rivalry or from empty conceit, but in humility, consider others better than yourselves.

Each of you should not look out for your own interests [only], but also for those of other people.

Therefore, God also exalted Him to the highest position and gave Him the name [i.e., "Lord." See verse 11], which is superior to every [other] name.

However I, myself, have [reasons for such] confidence in the flesh. [But] if any other person has [reasons for placing] confidence in the flesh, I have more [reasons].
