11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the gospel;
13 so that my bonds became revealed in Christ throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest;
14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16 The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
