Phil 1:12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.

Phil 1:13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.

Phil 1:14 Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly.

Phil 1:15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.

Phil 1:16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.

Phil 1:17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.

Philippians 1:12- 21

 

Phil 1:18 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, Phil 1:19 for I know that through your prayers and the

help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.

Phil 1:20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

Phil 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Phil 1:22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will

mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!

earth, the home of righteousness.

Paul succeeded in dignifying his imprisonment

Eph 3:1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

Ro 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Heb. 12:2 ….who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame

his imprisonmen

…the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith,

the breastplate of righteousness, the girdle of

truth, the sword of the spirit,

which is the word of God.

They that wait upon she the

lord shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with

wings as eagles; they shall run and not the

weary; they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah
