Philippians 1:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ But the others preach about Christ for ·selfish [selfish ambition; or rivalry] and ·wrong reasons [not sincerely], wanting to make trouble for me in ·prison [my chains].

¹⁸ ·But it doesn’t matter [What difference does it make? or What is the result? ^LFor what?]. The important thing is that in every way, whether ·for right or wrong reasons [from false motives or true], they are preaching about Christ. So ·I am happy [^Lin this I rejoice], ·and [indeed] I will continue to ·be happy [rejoice]. ¹⁹ Because I know ·this trouble [^Lthis] will ·bring my [result in] ·freedom [deliverance; or salvation], through your prayers and the ·help of [support from] the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
