tcent Philippians:1:12-30
tcent@Philippians:1:12 @ Now I want you to know, brethren, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,
tcent@Philippians:1:13 @ so that my imprisonment for Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,
tcent@Philippians:1:14 @ and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have been encouraged to speak the word of God without fear.
tcent@Philippians:1:15 @ Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.
tcent@Philippians:1:16 @ The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel;
tcent@Philippians:1:17 @ the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, but thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.
tcent@Philippians:1:18 @ 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,
tcent@Philippians:1:19 @ for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,
tcent@Philippians:1:20 @ as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be ashamed in anything, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
tcent@Philippians:1:21 @ For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
tcent@Philippians:1:22 @ But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I do not know.
tcent@Philippians:1:23 @ I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better;
tcent@Philippians:1:24 @ but to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
tcent@Philippians:1:25 @ Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
tcent@Philippians:1:26 @ so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.
tcent@Philippians:1:27 @ Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,
tcent@Philippians:1:28 @ in no way frightened by your opponents. This is a sign of destruction to them, but of salvation for you and that too, from God.
tcent@Philippians:1:29 @ For to you it has been granted for the sake of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for his sake,
tcent@Philippians:1:30 @ having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
