Philippians 1:12-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
12
Now I want you to know, brothers
and sisters,
that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel,
13
so that my imprisonment in
the cause of
Christ has become well known throughout the praetorian guard and to everyone else,
14
and that most of the brothers
and sisters,
trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.
15
Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from goodwill;
16
the latter
do it
out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;
17
the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking that they are causing me distress in my imprisonment.
King James Version
Chapter 1
12
But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
13
So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
14
And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
12
Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually advanced the gospel,
13
so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard, and to everyone else, that my imprisonment is because I am in Christ.
14
Most of the brothers have gained confidence in the Lord from my imprisonment and dare even more to speak the word fearlessly.
15
To be sure, some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of good will.
16
These preach out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;
17
the others proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking that they will cause me trouble in my imprisonment.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
12
And I want you to know, my dear brothers and sisters, that everything that has happened to me here has helped to spread the Good News.
13
For everyone here, including the whole palace guard, knows that I am in chains because of Christ.
14
And because of my imprisonment, most of the believers here have gained confidence and boldly speak God’s message without fear.
15
It’s true that some are preaching out of jealousy and rivalry. But others preach about Christ with pure motives.
16
They preach because they love me, for they know I have been appointed to defend the Good News.
17
Those others do not have pure motives as they preach about Christ. They preach with selfish ambition, not sincerely, intending to make my chains more painful to me.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
12
I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,
13
so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ.
14
And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15
Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.
16
The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.
17
The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment.
New International Version
Chapter 1
12
Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel.
13
As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
14
And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.
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.
17
The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
12
But I want you to know, brethren, that the things
which happened
to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel,
13
so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;
14
and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15
Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill:
16
The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains;
17
but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
