so that my bonds which are for Christ have become known to be such in all the palace, and in all other places; and most of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence in my bonds, are more bold to speak the word without fear. Some, indeed, preach the Christ, because of envy and a contentious disposition, and some because of good-will. These do it from love, because they know that I am set for the defense of the gospel; those preach Christ from a contentious disposition, not sincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds. What difference does this make? Christ is, nevertheless, preached in every way, whether in pretense or in truth; and in this I rejoice, yes, and I will rejoice: for I know that this will result in my benefit through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but with all boldness, as at all times, so even now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if this, my life in the flesh, would be profitable for my work in the ministry, verily, what I should choose I know not.
