15 And some truly by envy and strife, and some also by kindness of disposition, proclaim Christ.
16 Some truly of hired labor announce Christ, not purely, thinking to bring pressure upon my bonds:
17 And some of love, knowing that I am placed for justification of the good news:
18 For what? but in any manner, whether in pretence, or truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, and certainly I will rejoice.
19 For I know that this shall be turned to me for salvation by your prayer, and the furnishing more of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 According to my anxious expectation, and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but in all freedom of speech, as always, and now shall Christ be Magnified in my body, whether by life, whether by death.
21 For me to live is Christ, and to die gain.
22 And if to live in the flesh, this to me the fruit of work: and whether I shall be taken away I know not
23 For I am pressed together from two, having one eager desire to be loosed, and be with Christ (rather much better:)
24 And to tarry yet longer in the flesh is more necessary for you.
25 And confident in this, I know that I shall remain, and shall remain near together with you all for your advancement and joy of faith:
26 That your boasting may abound in Jesus Christ in me, for my coming again to you.
27 Only live as citizens worthy of the good news of Christ: that whether coming and seeing you, whether being absent, I shall bear the things concerning you, that ye stand in one spirit, one soul, fighting together in faith of the good news;
28 And terrified in nothing by them being hostile to you: which to them is truly an indication of destruction, and to you of salvation, and this from God.
29 For upon you was it conferred as a favor for Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him;
30 Having the same struggle which ye saw in me, and now hear in me.
