Philippians 1:15-18 ESV
Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,
What does it affect us when others proclaim Christ out of self ambition? Or not sincerely but to afflict us in our difficulty? They do us no harm at all, as long as we sincerely do our work and proclaim Christ. Good people will see our good work and our good will. Therefore, we ought not to be troubled by selfish people who want to bad mouth & afflict us. Instead, we ought to rejoice because they help us proclaim Christ to everyone. Good people will recognize our good will & disregard their bad mouth. God will vindicate us
