Philippians 1:15 Context
13So that my bonds in Christ, are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places. 14And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident, by my bonds, are much more bold to speake the word without feare. 15Some in deed preach Christ, euen of enuie and strife, and some also of good will. 16The one preach Christ of contention, not syncerely, supposing to adde affliction to my bonds: 17But the other of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospel.
