Philippians 1:12
Compare all
10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness awhich are by Jesus Christ, bto the glory and praise of God.  

Christ Is Preached

12 But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel,
13 so that it has become evident ato the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;  
14 and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill:
16 1The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains;  
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

To Live Is Christ

19 For I know that athis will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,  
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but awith all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life bor by death.  
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I1 cannot tell.  
23 1For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a adesire to depart and be with Christ, which is bfar better.  
24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.
25 And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,
26 that ayour rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.  

Striving and Suffering for Christ

27 Only alet your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, bwith one mind cstriving together for the faith of the gospel,  
28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but1 to you of salvation, and that from God.  
29 For to you ait has been granted on behalf of Christ, bnot only to believe in Him, but also to csuffer for His sake,  
30 ahaving the same conflict bwhich you saw in me and now hear is in me.
