Philippians 1:12-19
The Gospel Is Preached
12 Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances (A)have turned out for the greater progress of the (B)gospel,
13 so that my (a)(C)imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole (b)praetorian guard and to (D)everyone else,
14 and that most of the (c)brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my (d)(E)imprisonment, have (F)far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.
15 (G)Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even (e)from envy and strife, but some also (f)from good will;
16 the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the (H)gospel;
17 the former proclaim Christ (I)out of selfish ambition (g)rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my (h)(J)imprisonment.
18 What 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,
19 for I know that this will turn out for my (i)deliverance (K)through your (j)prayers and the provision of (L)the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
