1:17 The former proclaim Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, because they think they can cause trouble for me in my imprisonment. 1
Philippians 4:6
4:6 Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God.
Philippians 4:17
4:17 I do not say this because I am seeking a gift. 2 Rather, I seek the credit that abounds to your account.
1 tnGrk “thinking to cause trouble to my bonds.”
2 tnGrk “Not that I am seeking the gift.” The phrase “I do not say this…” has been supplied in the translation to complete the thought for the modern reader.
