12. But I want you to
know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out
for the furtherance of the gospel,
13. so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;
14. and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15. Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill:
16. The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains;
13. so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;
14. and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15. Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill:
16. The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains;
17. but the latter out of
love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
18. What then? Only that
in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this
I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
May the Lord bless the
reading of His Words in Jesus Name - Amen
