Philippians 1:15-18
New International Version
15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.(A) 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition,(B) not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.(C) 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

15 To be sure, some preach Christ out of envy and strife,(A) but others out of good will.[a] 16 These do so out of love,(B) knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; 17 the others proclaim Christ out of rivalry,(C) not sincerely, seeking to cause me anxiety in my imprisonment.[b] 18 What does it matter? Just that in every way, whether out of false motives(D) or true, Christ is proclaimed. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice

Philippians 1:15-18
King James Version
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
