^{12 Ref} Now it is my purpose to make clear to you, brothers, that the cause of the good news has been helped by my experiences;

^{13 Ref} So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;

^{14 Ref} And most of the brothers in the Lord, taking heart because of my chains, are all the stronger to give the word of God without fear.

^{15 Ref} Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:

^{16 Ref} These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news:

^{17 Ref} But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.

^{18 Ref} What then? only that in every way, falsely or truly, the preaching of Christ goes on; and in this I am glad, and will be glad.
