American Standard Version
"but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds. "
— Philippians 1:17, American Standard Version
“But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.”
“but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.”
“The former proclaim Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, because they think they can cause trouble for me in my imprisonment.”
“And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.”
“But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.”
“But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.”
and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
the one do it of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;
but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds.
What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
For I know that this shall turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
