how important is it to be right

The biographical prologue of the Epistle to the Philippians (1:12–26) takes the central theme of partnership in the gospel (1:5) and exemplifies it being worked out in very difficult circumstances in the life of Paul.

Several helpful lessons to consider are: (1) God’s use of negative circumstances to bring about positive ends (1:12–14); (2) the great impact of courageous witness for Christ, even in unfavorable circumstances (1:13–14); (3) the possibility of sharing the gospel of Christ with wrong motives (1:15–18); (4) the vital importance of prayer to support ministry (1:19); (5) the necessity of dependence on the power of the Holy Spirit, especially in connection with prayer (1:19); (6) Christ as the Christian’s reason for living (1:20–21); and (7) the believer’s eternal gain in the presence of Christ through death (1:21, 23).
