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 wholejpraetorian guard and to everyone else, 14 and that most of thekbrethren, trusting in the Lord because of mylimprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear. 15 Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ evenmfrom 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 ambitionorather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in mypimprisonment. 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 myqdeliverance through yourrprayers 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. |
