B. Paul's Afflictions Promote the Gospel.................... 1:12-18 Phi 1:12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;Phi 1:13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;Phi 1:14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.Phi 1:15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:Phi 1:16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:Phi 1:17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.Phi 1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. |
