Philippians 1:18

18 But what does it matter? As long as, by every means, whether under pretext or in truthfulness, Christ is announced. And about this, I rejoice, and moreover, I will continue to rejoice. ^{▼▼1:18The word ‘occasionem,’ in this context, refers to acting under a pretext; it does not refer to an occasion or an opportunity. Thus, ‘veritatem’ is not so much ‘the truth’ as preaching or announcing Christ with truthfulness, that is, out of sincere motives.(Conte)}
