Philippians 1:15-17
International Standard Version
15 Some are preaching the Messiah[a] because of jealousy and dissension, while others do so[b] because of their good will. 16 The latter are motivated[c] by love, because they know that I have been appointed to defend the gospel. 17 The former proclaim the Messiah[d] because they are selfishly ambitious and insincere, thinking that they will stir up trouble for me during my imprisonment.
