Philippians 1:17-19
EasyEnglish Bible
17 Those other people speak about Christ because they want to seem important. They do not really want to help people. They just want to cause trouble for me while I am here in this prison. 18 But it does not matter to me! All of them are telling people about Christ. That is the most important thing. Whether they speak because of wrong reasons or because of right reasons, they are speaking the message about Christ! Because of that, I am happy.
Yes, I will continue to be happy. 19 You are praying for me and Jesus Christ's Spirit is helping me. So I know that what has happened to me will have a good result. Yes, God will rescue me.

Philippians 1:17-19
New International Version
17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition,(A) not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.(B) 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers(C) and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ(D) what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[a](E)
