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.
Does your situations develop confidence in others. Are others growing in their relationship with Christ because what you are going through?
Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 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.
Philippians
Although some are preaching Christ with pure motives, others are not.
These insincere preachers in the church are perhaps envious of Paul’s apostolic position and missionary success and are taking advantage of his situation in prison to advance themselves at his expense.
From one point of view, though, the new impetus for preaching was not all positive. Although some are preaching Christ with pure motives, others are not. These insincere preachers in the church are perhaps envious of Paul’s apostolic position and missionary success and are taking advantage of his situation in prison to advance themselves at his expense. Their selfish ambition drives their ministry, not their desire to advance Christ. They apparently hope to gain a following for themselves while Paul is on the sidelines. These hypocritical ministers are not preaching a false gospel; they are preaching Christ. But they are misguided believers who, though their motives are wrong, are nevertheless preaching a correct message.

These hypocritical ministers are not preaching a false gospel; they are preaching Christ. But they are misguided believers who, though their motives are wrong, are nevertheless preaching a correct message.
On the other hand Paul writes that many believers are proclaiming the Good News of Christ out of the motivation of love for Christ and Paul.
They know that his calling from God is to defend the gospel and they are following his example.
Philippians 1:
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,
It’s not about me but about Christ!
“In That”- That Christ is proclaimed
I will be happy and have joy! Yes, I will be Happy!!!
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 be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.
“This will turn out for my deliverance”
Pauls definition of deliverance - Deliverance could be life or death!
