Philippians 1:15-21

English Standard Version

^15 (A)Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. ¹⁶ The latter do it out of love, ^(B)knowing that I am put here for ^(C)the defense of the gospel. ¹⁷ The former proclaim Christ ^(D)out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. ¹⁸ What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.

To Live Is Christ

Yes, and I will rejoice, ¹⁹ for I know that ^(E)through your prayers and ^(F)the help of ^(G)the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, ²⁰ as it is my eager expectation and hope ^(H)that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full ^(I)courage now as always Christ ^(J)will be honored in my body, ^(K)whether by life or by death. ²¹ For to me ^(L)to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
