Philippians 1:14-17 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

¹⁴And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.

          15It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
          16The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
          17The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.
