Paul's Imprisonment Advances the Gospel

12

I would ye vnderstood, brethren, that the things which haue come vnto me, are turned rather to the furthering of the Gospell,

13

So that my bandes in Christ are famous throughout all the iudgement hall, and in all other places,

14

In so much that many of the brethren in the Lord are boldened through my bandes, and dare more frankely speake the word.

15

Some preache. Christ euen through enuie and strife, and some also of good will.

16

The one part preacheth Christ of contention and not purely, supposing to adde more affliction to my bandes.

17

But the others of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospell.

18

What then? yet Christ is preached all maner wayes, whether it be vnder a pretence, or syncerely: and I therein ioye: yea and will ioye.

19

For I knowe that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and by the helpe of the Spirit of Iesus Christ,

20

As I feruently looke for, and hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed, but that with all confidence, as alwayes, so nowe Christ shalbe magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.
