The Gospel Is Preached — Philippians 1:12-20, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTER

Philippians, Chapter 1, verses 12-20

¹² Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel, ¹³ so that myⁱimprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole^jpraetorian guard and to everyone else, ¹⁴ and that most of the^kbrethren, trusting in the Lord because of my^limprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear. ¹⁵ Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even^mfrom envy and strife, but some alsoⁿfrom good will; ¹⁶ the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; ¹⁷ the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition^orather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my^pimprisonment. 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^qdeliverance through your^rprayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, ²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
