12 And I wish you to know, brothers, that what has befallen me has turned out for the advancement of the Good News,
13 so that it has become known to all the palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Messiah;
14 and most of the brothers, trusting in the Master because of my chains, are much more bold to fearlessly speak the word.
15 Some indeed proclaim Messiah even from envy and strife, but some also out of pleasure –
16 the former announce Messiah from selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking to add distress to my chains,
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defence of the Good News.
18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Messiah is announced. And in this I rejoice, in fact, I shall rejoice.
