16. The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17. but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
18. What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
19. For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20. according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
21. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
