Philippians 1:15-18
Legacy Standard Bible
15 (A)Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even [a]from envy and strife, but some also [b]from good will; 16 the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the (B)gospel; 17 the former proclaim Christ (C)out of selfish ambition [c]rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me affliction in my (D)chains. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice.
Yes, and I will rejoice,

Philippians 1:15-18
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.
18 But so what? Just this—that in every way, whether by false or true motives, the Messiah[e] is being proclaimed. Because of this, I rejoice and will continue to rejoice.
