Philippians 1:12-20

Riverside(i) 12 I wish you to know, brethren, that my affairs have turned out rather to the furtherance of the good news, 13 so that my chains have become well known as for Christ to the whole Praetorian Guard and to all the rest, 14 and the most of the brethren in the Lord, made confident by my chains, are unusually brave in speaking the message fearlessly. 15 Some indeed proclaim Christ because of envy and rivalry, some also because of good will. 16 Some announce Christ from love, knowing that I am placed for the defense of the good news, 17 but others out of partisanship, thinking to add distress to my chains. 18 What then? Still in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed and in that I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice. 19 For I know that this will make for my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and hope that I may be put to shame in nothing, but with all courage, as always, so now Christ may be honored in my body, whether by my life or by my death.
