9 Now this I pray, that your love might overflow still more and more in knowledge and depth of discernment,
10 in order to approve what is excellent—so that in the Day of Messiah you may be sincere and blameless,
11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Yeshua the Messiah, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually resulted in the advancement of the Good News.
13 And so my imprisonment in the cause of Messiah has become well known throughout the whole Praetorian Guard and to everyone else.
14 Because of my imprisonment, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord to dare more than ever to speak the message fearlessly.
15 Some are proclaiming the Messiah out of envy and strife, but others out of good will.
