Philippians 1:16
Those who do it out of love [for me] know that I am prepared to defend the Gospel [i.e., before government authorities].
Philippians 1:7
It is right for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart [i.e., you are dear to me], for you people are sharing in God's unearned favor with me [Note: Paul here refers to his ministry], both in my imprisonment and in my defense and confirmation of the Gospel [i.e., in my efforts to give proof of the Gospel's truth].
2 Corinthians 2:17
For we [apostles] are not like so many people, who "peddle" God's message merely for profit [or, "who corrupt God's message"], but in Christ's [service] we proclaim the message from God with sincerity, [realizing we are] in the presence of God.
2 Corinthians 4:1-2
So, having obtained this ministry through [God's] mercy, we do not become discouraged.
Philippians 1:10
Then you will be able to approve of [only] what is best and be sincere and without just blame on the day of Christ's [return],
Philippians 1:12
Now I want you to know, brothers, that the things that happened to me have resulted in the advancement [of the influence] of the Gospel rather [than hindering it],
