Philippians 1:13

Jesus
Witness and mission

11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.

As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.

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

15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
