Philippians 1:18 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

So what's my take on all this? Look, I don't really care about people's motives — whether they're being fake or genuine, Christ is still being talked about. And honestly? That makes me happy, and I'm going to keep being happy about it.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Paul said he'd rather have Jesus preached with bad motives than not preached at all.

1 Chronicles 29:17

I also know, my God, that you test the heart and take pleasure in honesty and integrity. As for me, with an honest heart I have willingly given all these things, and now I have seen with joy your people who are here today also giving willingly to you.

Job 17:8

Good and honest people will be shocked by this, and innocent people will rise up against those who are fake and two-faced.
