Philippians 1:17

17 the others preach Christ because of their selfish ambition. They are insincere, hoping to cause me more pain while I'm in prison.

Philippians 1:17 In-Context

15 Some certainly preach Christ with jealous and competitive motives, but others preach with good motives.
16 They are motivated by love, because they know that I'm put here to give a defense of the gospel;
17 the others preach Christ because of their selfish ambition. They are insincere, hoping to cause me more pain while I'm in prison.
18 What do I think about this? Just this: since Christ is proclaimed in every possible way, whether from dishonest or true motives, I'm glad and I'll continue to be glad.
19 I'm glad because I know that this will result in my release through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
