It’s true that some preach about Christ because they are jealous. But others preach about Christ to help me in my work.

有的传基督是出于嫉妒纷争，也有的是出于好意。

有些人传基督是出于嫉妒纷争；有些人是出于好意。

当然，有些人宣讲基督是出于嫉妒和争强好胜，也有些人是出于善意。

有些人传扬基督是出于嫉妒和纷争，但也有些人是出于好意。

有些人传扬基督固然是出于嫉妒和纷争，但也有些人是出于好意。

有的人宣傳基督、竟是為了嫉妒和紛爭；有的人呢、倒是為了善意。

夫宣基督、以媢嫉紛爭者有之、以善意者亦有之、

且傳基督道、而人媢嫉朋黨者有之、善意者有之、

人傳基督、為嫉妒分爭者有之、為善意者亦有之、

雖間亦有以嫉妒好勝為心、而宣傳基督者；然出於誠意者、亦不在少。

It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.

Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.

I am warning you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who try to keep you from staying together. They want to trip you up. They teach you things opposite to what you have learned. Stay away from them.People like that are not serving Christ our Lord. They are serving only themselves. With smooth talk and with words they don’t mean they fool people who don’t know any better.

Don’t do anything only to get ahead. Don’t do it because you are proud. Instead, be humble. Value others more than yourselves.

You are still following the ways of the world. Some of you are jealous. Some of you argue. So aren’t you following the ways of the world? Aren’t you acting like ordinary human beings?One of you says,“ I follow Paul.” Another says,“ I follow Apollos.” Aren’t you acting like ordinary human beings?

Be shepherds of God’s flock, the believers under your care. Watch over them, though not because you have to. Instead, do it because you want to. That’s what God wants you to do. Don’t do it because you want to get money in dishonest ways. Do it because you really want to serve.Don’t act as if you were a ruler over those under your care. Instead, be examples to the flock.The Chief Shepherd will come again. Then you will receive the crown of glory. It is a crown that will never fade away.

Silas, Timothy and I preached to you about the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Our message did not say“ Yes” and“ No” at the same time. The message of Christ has always been“ Yes.”

The last group acts out of love. They know I have been put here to be a witness for the good news.But the others preach about Christ only to get ahead. They preach Christ for the wrong reasons. They think they can stir up trouble for me while I am being held by chains.But what does it matter? Here is the important thing. Whether for right or wrong reasons, Christ is being preached about. That makes me very glad. And I will continue to be glad.

People like that are false apostles. They are workers who tell lies. They only pretend to be apostles of Christ.

Right away he began to preach in the synagogues. He taught that Jesus is the Son of God.

Some believers from Cyprus and Cyrene went to Antioch. There they began to speak to Greeks also. They told them the good news about the Lord Jesus.

“ Everything they do is done for others to see. On their foreheads and arms they wear little boxes that hold Scripture verses. They make the boxes very wide. And they make the tassels on their coats very long.

Suppose I give everything I have to poor people. And suppose I give myself over to a difficult life so I can brag. If I don’t have love, I get nothing at all.

Then Philip began with that same part of Scripture. He told him the good news about Jesus.

This matter came up because some people had slipped in among us. They had pretended to be believers. They wanted to find out about the freedom we have because we belong to Christ Jesus. They wanted to make us slaves again.

Don’t you know what Scripture says? God wants the spirit in us to belong only to him. God caused this spirit to live in us. Don’t you think Scripture has a reason for saying this?But God continues to give us more grace. That’s why Scripture says,“ God opposes those who are proud. But he gives grace to those who are humble.”( Proverbs 3:34)

Philip went down to a city in Samaria. There he preached about the Messiah.

Every day they taught in the temple courtyards and from house to house. They never stopped telling people the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

I’m afraid that when I come I won’t find you as I want you to be. I’m afraid that you won’t find me as you want me to be. I’m afraid there will be arguing, jealousy and fits of anger. I’m afraid each of you will focus only on getting ahead. Then you will tell lies about each other. You will talk about each other. I’m afraid you will be proud and cause trouble.

The message we preach is not about ourselves. Our message is about Jesus Christ. We say that he is Lord. And we say that we serve you because of Jesus.

There is no doubt that true godliness comes from this great mystery. Jesus came as a human being. The Holy Spirit proved that he was the Son of God. He was seen by angels. He was preached among the nations. People in the world believed in him. He was taken up to heaven in glory.

But we preach about Christ and his death on the cross. That is very hard for Jews to accept. And everyone else thinks it’s foolish.

You know the message God sent to the people of Israel. It is the good news of peace through Jesus Christ. He is Lord of all.
