12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel, 13 so that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace and in all other places; 14 and many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach the Christ even out of envy and strife, but others also out of good will. 16 Some preach the Christ out of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add tribulation to my bonds, 17 but the others out of charity, knowing that I am placed here for the defense of the gospel.
