Philippians 1:16 in Context — Philippians 1

14 Y muchos de los hermanos en el Señor, tomando ánimo con mis prisiones, se atreven mucho más á hablar la palabra sin temor.

15 Y algunos, á la verdad, predican á Cristo por envidia y porfía; mas algunos también por buena voluntad.

16 Los unos anuncian á Cristo por contención, no sinceramente, pensando añadir aflicción á mis prisiones;

17 Pero los otros por amor, sabiendo que soy puesto por la defensa del evangelio.

18 ¿Qué pues? [Que] no obstante, en todas maneras, ó por pretexto ó por verdad, es anunciado Cristo; y en esto me huelgo, y aun me holgaré.
