Philippians 1:16
“The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;”
Verse in context — Philippians 1
14
and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15
Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16
The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17
but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
18
What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
