Now I desire to have you know, brothers, 5 that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News, 2Ti 2:9Rom 8:28Act 11:19-21Rom 8:37Act 22:1-30Act 8:4Est 9:1Act 28:1-31 so that it became evident to the whole palace 6 guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ, 2Ti 2:9Eph 3:1Act 26:29Eph 6:20Php 1:7Php 4:221Pe 4:12-16Act 20:23-24 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. Eph 6:19-201Th 2:2Luk 1:74Col 4:4Php 1:7Col 4:72Co 1:3-7Act 4:23-31 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News; Eph 4:11Co 16:13-141Co 1:102Pe 3:14Php 2:1-2Col 1:10Jud 1:31Th 4:1 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God. 2Ti 1:7-82Th 1:5-6Mat 10:28Isa 51:72Ti 2:11-121Pe 4:12-14Mat 5:10-12Isa 12:2 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf, Jas 1:21Pe 4:13Act 5:41Rom 5:3Act 14:22Mat 5:11-12Eph 2:8Jas 1:17-18 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me. 1Th 2:2Act 16:19-402Ti 4:7Rom 8:35-372Ti 2:10-12Heb 12:4Jhn 16:33Eph 6:11-18
