Philippians 1:15-20
New American Standard Bible
15 (A)Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even [a]from envy and strife, but some also [b]from goodwill; 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 that they are causing me distress in my [d](D)imprisonment. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice.
But not only that, I also will rejoice, 19 for I know that this will turn out for my [e]deliverance (E)through your [f]prayers and the provision of (F)the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my (G)eager expectation and (H)hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with (I)all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be (J)exalted in my body, (K)whether by life or by death.
