Philippians 1:15-30 Some indeed are preaching the Christ even because of envy and strife, but some also through their delight.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Some indeed are preaching the Christ even because of envy and strife, but some also through their delight. ¹⁶ Those are indeed proclaiming the Christ out of selfish ambition, not purely, assuming to bring affliction to my bonds. ¹⁷ But the latter ones do it out of love, knowing that I am destined for the defense of the good-news. ¹⁸ For what then? Except that in every manner, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and I am rejoicing in this, but also, I will be rejoicing again. ¹⁹ For I know that this will be transpiring for my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, ²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will be shamed in nothing, but as always, now Christ will also be magnified in my body in all boldness, whether through life or through death. ²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ²² But if to live in the flesh–this is the fruit of work to me, and what will I select for myself? I do not know. ²³ But I am troubled from the two ends, having the desire, that I should vacate and be together with Christ, but it is much better rather ²⁴ now to remain in the flesh is necessary because of you. ²⁵ And having confidence of this, I know that I will remain, and I will be abiding together with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith; ²⁶ in order that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me, through my presence with you again. ²⁷ Only behave-as citizens worthy of the good-news of the Christ; in order that, whether I come and see you, or am absent, I may hear about the things concerning you, that you are standing-firm in one spirit, with one soul contending together with us in the faith of the good-news. ²⁸ And being terrified in nothing by those who lay in opposition to you; which to them indeed is an example of destruction, but to you is an example of salvation and this thing is from God, ²⁹ because it was granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf; ³⁰ having the same struggle such-as you saw in me, and now are hearing to be in me.
