Philippians 1:12-18: A Godly Attitude

Thanks to Simon Bird for preaching this afternoon. Our apologies for the lack of a recording.

Philippians 1:12-18

12 I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,
13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my
imprisonment is for Christ. 14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my
imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 16 The latter do it out of
love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former proclaim Christ out of selfish
ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. 18 What then? Only that in every
way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.
