v. 12 Is Paul telling the readers something new? Something they did not know before? Something that was not obvious? Some knew knowledge? Is it not obvious to everyone that "suffering" motivates others to more courageously advance the gospel? v. 12 Why is it important for Paul to talk about his circumstances? v. 12 What are Paul's circumstances? v,. 12 Toward whet end did "bad things" (i.e. imprisonment, etc.) happen to Paul? v. 12 How does imprisonment affect the "greater progress of the gospel." v. 12 What does it take to live a life that is focused on "the greater progress of the gospel?" What in the passage were potential distractions that could have changed Paul's focus? What distracts us from focusing on the "progress of the gospel." or "the cause of Christ?" Circumstances? Imprisonment? Other brethren who are selfish, causing us distress? Pretentious ones? Etc.? v. 13 Can Paul's imprisonment be compared to Joseph's imprisonment, or Jeremiah's? Are the SOME like Joseph's brothers? Or, Hananiah, the priest of Gibeon who opposed Jeremiah? v. 12-13 Did Paul's brethren see his imprisonment in the same way Paul did? v 12. What was it about Paul's imprisonment that made it "well known" that he was imprisoned "in the cause of Christ?" v. 13 Why did Paul single out the praetorian guard? Who are these people? What do they do? v. 14 Does legal punishment (imprisonment) typically cause others to have "more courage?" v. 14 Is not the state sponsored punishment supposed to deter actions the state find objectionable? v. 14 How do governments typically describe those who embolden others to break the law? v. 14 Why does Paul describe the brethren here as ones who were "trusting in the Lord?" Is he creating categories of people who have different views of his imprisonment? v. 15 What would Immanuel Kant think of Paul's use of good will as a motive for preaching Christ? v. 15 What is the purpose of the phrase "to be sure?" v. 13-15 Is his use of the term MOST of the brethren meaningful? Why did he not speak in the same manner as he did in verse 3 (i.e. WHOLE praetorian guard and EVERYONE else)? v. 12-15 What does Paul's use of the terms MOST, WHOLE and SOME, tell us about how people viewed, or were impacted by his "circumstances?" v. 15 Are the SOME in vs. 15 included INSIDE the BRETHREN? Or, are they OUTSIDE of the BRETHREN? Are they false believers? Or, or are they believers? Or, perhaps the SOME are subjects of common grace? v. 12-18 Are not motives in the eye of the beholder? How can Paul be certain of the motives that lay behind the many he is meeting: SOME, FORMER, BRETHREN, GUARD? v. 15-18 How does Paul distinguish between various motives (including his)? What standard does Paul use evaluate others (and his) motives? v. 15-18 What are the many motives Paul detects in those that he meets? v. 12-18 What possible motives might others attribute to Paul for his behavior? v. 15-18 What motives Paul attribute to HIMSELF? v. 17 What is the Greek word for motive? What are synonyms for the word motive? Antonyms? v. 17-18 Does imprisonment in any way validate Paul's motives for preaching Christ? How does suffering test the sincerity of one's convictions? v. 18 Is Paul like the modern Machavellian politicians who do not care what motivates voters to talk about them, as long as voters talk about them and their issues? And, not some other candidate or issue. (i.e. I do not care why , or what motivates people to talk about me as long as, people are talking about my issues and not some other issue!) v. 18 How do we know that Paul is not ambivilent about what motivates people who preach (proclaim) Christ? v. 18 What is the Greek word for the following: 1) greater progress, well known, trusting, far more, courage, speak, fear, preaching, envy, strife, good will, love, appointed, proclaim, selfish ambition, pure, motives, thinking, distress, pretense, truth, proclaimed, in this, rejoice . . . " v. 17-18 What would be a modern example of a person who preached Christ in a pretentious (v. 18) manner? v. 12-18 How does this section fit in with the prior section? How does it contribute to Paul's argument? v. 12-18 Can anyone say that they have 100% pure motives when preaching, teaching or proclaiming the gospel? Are our motives mixed? If so, what motivational compounds combine to make up our motives? Is is important to know what these are? Is Paul saying that come people are totally motivated (or primarily motivated) by a "good will, love, selfish ambition," enhance suffering of others, etc.?
