People's Bible Notes for Philippians 1:16
Php 1:16 The one preach Christ from contention, not sincerely. Not from sincere love of the gospel, but from a factious spirit. While preaching, they sought to undermine Paul's influence, supposing to add affliction to my bonds. For an illustration of this class, read the first and second chapters of Galatians.
