9. This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
10. so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offence to the day of Messiah;
11. being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Yeshua the Messiah, to the glory and praise of God.
12. Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;
13. so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Messiah;
14. and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15. Some indeed proclaim Messiah even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
