"but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News."
— Philippians 1:17, World English Bible
“But the other 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. ”
“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 brothers 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 out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
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.
For I know that this will 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 I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
