Philippians 1:18-20

Expanded Bible

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. ²⁰ I expect and hope that I will not ·fail Christ in [^Lbe ashamed about] anything but that I will have the ·courage [boldness] now, as always, ·to show the greatness of Christ [or so that Christ will be exalted] in my ·life here on earth [^Lbody], whether I live or die.
