Philippians 1:15-18
American Standard Version
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16 [a]the one do it of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the [b]gospel; 17 [c]but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds. 18 What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
