The Key Word — Χριστὸς, Christosgenerated
The term Χριστός (Christos) means 'anointed' and is a title for Jesus, recognized as the Messiah. It emphasizes His role in salvation and is used throughout the New Testament to refer to Jesus' divine mission.
In this verse, Paul highlights the importance of Christ being preached, regardless of the motives behind it. The focus remains on the message of Christ rather than the intentions of those proclaiming it.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study uses the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) as the primary text. The BSB states that Christ is preached in every way, whether by false motives or true, and Paul rejoices in this.
Different translations offer variations in wording. The KJV and ASV use 'notwithstanding' and 'only' respectively, while the WEB phrases it as 'What does it matter?' This shows a range of expressions for the same underlying message.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is καταγγέλλεται, is proclaimed, which governs the sentence. The structure includes clauses that describe the conditions under which Christ is preached, followed by Paul's expression of joy.
The first clause introduces the issue, followed by a conditional clause that presents the alternatives of false or true motives. The concluding clauses express Paul's joy in the proclamation of Christ.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In Philippians 1:18, the Greek word τί (tis), meaning 'What', is used to render the Hebrew words מָה (mah) and מִי (mi), which are interrogative pronouns. This choice emphasizes the questioning nature of the issue being addressed.
The word πλὴν (plēn), translated as 'Only', corresponds to the Hebrew רַק (raḳ), which carries a restrictive force, highlighting the exclusivity of the statement that follows. The term τρόπῳ (tropos), meaning 'way', is used similarly in the LXX to convey the manner in which something is done, while ἀληθείᾳ (alētheia), meaning 'in truth', reflects the Hebrew אֱמֶת (emet), emphasizing the sincerity of the motives behind the actions described.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Philippians 1:18 shows that Paul is aware of different motives behind the preaching of Christ. Regardless of whether the motives are genuine or hypocritical, he finds joy in the fact that Christ is being preached.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Early church Fathers comment on this verse, discussing the implications of preaching Christ regardless of motives. Their insights reflect on the unity of the message amidst differing intentions.
Therefore, says he, it matters not to me "whether it be in pretence or in truth that Christ is preached," because one Christ alone was announced, whether in their "pretentious" or their "truthful" faith.Early Church Fathers on Philippians 1 →

St. Paul, in the words “in pretence” and “in truth,” is speaking of the motives of the preachers, not of the substance of their preaching. For the latter he cares much; for the former nothing.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Quid enim ? Dum omni modo sive per occasionem, sive per veritatem, Christus annuntietur : et in hoc gaudeo, sed et gaudebo.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

τίς is an interrogative pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' or 'what,' used in both direct and indirect questions. It can function as a substantive, adjective, or adverb, appearing in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:7 and John 18:23. The neuter form τί also means 'what' or 'which.' There are instances where τίς may be used interchangeably with other pronouns like ποῖος.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

The Greek word πλήν (*plēn*) functions primarily as an adverb meaning 'but,' 'however,' or 'except.' It can also serve as a preposition with the genitive, indicating exceptions. In the New Testament, it appears in several contexts, often introducing clauses that restrict or expand on previous statements, such as in Matthew 11:22 and Acts 20:23. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement regarding its usage.

The Greek word ὅτι (hoti) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that' or 'because.' It introduces objective clauses, often following verbs of perception or declaration, and can also serve as a causal particle. The New Testament frequently employs it in this way, such as in Matthew 5:4-12. There is some variation in how lexicons describe its usage, particularly regarding its pleonastic function in direct discourse.

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

The Greek word τρόπος (tropos) means 'way,' 'manner,' or 'fashion,' and is derived from the verb τρέπω (trepo), which means 'to turn.' It is used in various contexts in the New Testament to describe modes of behavior, character, and ways of life, appearing in passages like Matthew 23:37 and Hebrews 13:5. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

It appears in various New Testament contexts, such as in Matthew 23:14 and 1 Thessalonians 2:5, where it denotes a deceptive motive or justification.

The Greek word ἀλήθεια (aletheia) means 'truth' and is derived from ἀληθής ('true'). It encompasses both objective truth, as in the reality of a matter, and subjective truthfulness, reflecting sincerity and integrity. In the New Testament, it is used in various contexts, including religious truth and moral integrity, with references in Romans and John.

Subjectively, truthfulness, truth, not merely verbal (cl.), but sincerity and integrity of character: Jo 8:44, III Jo 3.

Truth
Used in various senses in Scripture. In Prov. 12:17, 19, it denotes that which is opposed to falsehood. In Isa. 59:14, 15, Jer. 7:28, it means fidelity or truthfulness. The doctrine of Christ is called “the truth of the gospel” (Gal. 2:5), “the truth” (2 Tim. 3:7; 4:4). Our Lord says of himself, “I am the way, and the truth” (John 14:6).

Χριστός (Christos) means 'anointed' and refers specifically to the Messiah, a title used for Jesus in the New Testament. The term is derived from the verb χρίω (to anoint) and appears in various contexts, including references to anointing oil and the anointed kings of Israel. It is used substantively as 'the Christ' in many New Testament verses, such as Matthew 2:4 and John 1:20.

Christ
Anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered “Messiah” (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ (Acts 17:3; 18:5; Matt. 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus spoken of by Isaiah (61:1), and by Daniel (9:24-26), who styles him “Messiah the Prince.”
The Messiah is the same person as “the seed of the woman” (Gen. 3:15), “the seed of Abraham” (Gen. 22:18), the “Prophet like unto Moses” (Deut.…
[Jesus]
Anointed, a Greek word, answering to the Hebrew MESSIAH, the consecrated or anointed one, and given preeminently to our blessed Lord and Savior. See MESSIAH and JESUS.
The ancient Hebrews, being instructed by the prophets, had clear notions of the Messiah; but these became gradually depraved, so that when Jesus appeared in Judea, the Jews entertained a false conception of the Messiah, expecting a temporal monarch and conqueror, who should remove the Roman yoke and subject the whole world. Hence they were scandalized at the outward appearance, the humility, and seeming weakness of our Savior. The modern Jews, including still greater mistakes, form to themselves ideas of the Messiah utterly unknown to their forefathers.
The ancient prophets had foretold that the Messiah should be God, and man; exalted, and abased; master, and servant; priest, and victim; prince, and subject; involved in…

The Greek word καταγγέλλω (i.e., *kataggello*) means to proclaim or declare. It is built from a prefix meaning 'down' and a root related to announcing. The term is used in the New Testament to refer to publicly announcing various subjects, such as the gospel and the resurrection of Christ, with occurrences in Acts and Romans. Some sources note its use in a denouncing context, but the primary sense is one of proclamation.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

The Greek word ἀλλά (alla) is an adversative particle, meaning 'but' or 'otherwise.' It is derived from the neuter plural of ἄλλος and is used to introduce opposition or contrast in sentences. In the New Testament, it often appears in contexts that involve negation or exceptions, such as in Matthew 5:15 and John 16:2. The lexicons note its stronger adversative force compared to δέ.
ἀλλά (ἀλλ’ usually bef. α and υ, often bef. ε and η, rarely bef. ο and ω, never bef. ι; Tdf., Pr., 93 f.; WH, App., 146),
adversative particle,
stronger than δέ; prop. neuter pl. of ἄλλος, used adverbially, with changed accent; hence prop. otherwise, on the other hand (cf. Ro 3:31);

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.
