Philippians 1, 12-26, God's Word says this, I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.
so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ.
And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear." Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill.
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, for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, this will turn out for my deliverance, as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not at all be ashamed, but that with full courage, now as always, Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.
For to me, live is Christ, and to die is gain.
If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me.
Yet which I shall choose, I cannot tell.
I am hard pressed between the two.
My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.
but to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.
Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and your joy in the faith, so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus because of my coming to you again.
So my friends, point number one on your outline, I've already given you the blank.
There is no blank.
You can just listen and take notes.
We're going to be taking a look here in verse 12 through 18.
I want your eyes to hone in on verse 12 through 14.
Verse 12 through 14.
You see, when you take a look at verse 12, when Paul says, what has happened to me, that is what has happened to him.
