9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet
more and more in knowledge and in all
judgment;
10 That ye may approve things that are
excellent; that ye may be sincere and without
offence till the day of Christ;
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness,
which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and
praise of God.
12 But I would ye should understand, brethren,
that the things which happened unto me have
fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the
gospel;
13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all
the palace, and in all other places;
14 And many of the brethren in the Lord,
waxing confident by my bonds, are much more
bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and
strife; and some also of good will:

11. 16 The one preach Christ of contention, not
sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my
bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set
for the defence of the gospel.

24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the
reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord
Christ.

wrong which he hath done: and there is no
respect of persons.

brethren; but rather do them service, because
