Philippians 1:16
Philippians 1:16 New International Version (NIV)
The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.
Philippians 1:15-17 The Message (MSG)
It’s true that some here preach Christ because with me out of the way, they think they’ll step right into the spotlight. But the others do it with the best heart in the world. One group is motivated by pure love, knowing that I am here defending the Message, wanting to help. The others, now that I’m out of the picture, are merely greedy, hoping to get something out of it for themselves. Their motives are bad. They see me as their competition, and so the worse it goes for me, the better—they think—for them.
