Philippians 1:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ The latter are motivated^[a] by love, because they know that I have been appointed to defend the gospel. ¹⁷ The former proclaim the Messiah^[b] because they are selfishly ambitious and insincere, thinking that they will stir up trouble for me during my imprisonment.

¹⁸ But so what? Just this—that in every way, whether by false or true motives, the Messiah^[c] is being proclaimed. Because of this, I rejoice and will continue to rejoice.
