NET Bible
"Ministry as a Prisoner I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that my situation has actually turned out to advance the gospel:"
— Philippians 1:12, NET Bible
“But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;”
“Now I would have you know, brethren, that the thingswhich happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel; ”
“Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;”
“Now, brethren, I desire you should know that the things which have happened to me have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:”
“Now it is my purpose to make clear to you, brothers, that the cause of the good news has been helped by my experiences;”
“But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;”
And I pray this, that your love may abound even more and more in knowledge and every kind of insight
so that you can decide what is best, and thus be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ,
filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.
Ministry as a Prisoner I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that my situation has actually turned out to advance the gospel:
The whole imperial guard and everyone else knows that I am in prison for the sake of Christ,
and most of the brothers and sisters, having confidence in the Lord because of my imprisonment, now more than ever dare to speak the word fearlessly.
Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill.
