13. All the Roman guards and all the others here know that I am in prison for serving Christ.
14. My being in prison has caused most of the believers to put their trust in the Lord and to show more courage in telling people God’s message.
15. Some people are telling the message about Christ because they are jealous and bitter. Others do it because they want to help.
16. They are doing it out of love. They know that God gave me the work of defending the Good News.
