Philippians 1:15-18
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,

Holman Christian Standard Bible
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
