Philippians 1:17

17 the others proclaim Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely, seeking to cause [me] trouble in my imprisonment.[a]

Philippians 1:17 In-Context

15 Some, to be sure, preach Christ out of envy and strife, but others out of good will.
16 These do so out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;
17 the others proclaim Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely, seeking to cause [me] trouble in my imprisonment.
18 What does it matter? Just that in every way, whether out of false motives or true, Christ is proclaimed. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice
19 because I know this will lead to my deliverance through your prayers and help from the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
