Philippians 1:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ Because I am in prison, most of the ·believers [^Lbrothers (and sisters)] have become more ·bold [confident] in the Lord and ·are not afraid [^Ldare without fear] to speak the word of God.

¹⁵ It is true that some preach about Christ because of ·jealousy [envy] and ·ambition [rivalry], but others preach about Christ because ·they want to help [of good will/intentions]. ¹⁶ They preach because they have love, and they know that ·God gave me the work of [I have been appointed for; or I have been put here (in prison) for] defending the ·Good News [Gospel].
