Philippians 1:15-20 NWT
15 True, some are preaching the Christ through envy and rivalry, but others also through goodwill. 16 The latter are publicizing the Christ out of love, for they know I am set here for the defense of the good news; 17 but the former do it out of contentiousness, not with a pure motive, for they are supposing to stir up tribulation [for me] in my [prison] bonds. 18 What then? [Nothing,] except that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being publicized, and in this I rejoice. In fact, I will also keep on rejoicing, 19 for I know this will result in my salvation through YOUR supplication and a supply of the spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 in harmony with my eager expectation and hope that I shall not be ashamed in any respect, but that in all freeness of speech Christ will, as always before, so now be magnified by means of my body, whether through life or through death.
Philippians 1:15-20 BBE
(15) Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:
(16) These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news:
(17) But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.
(18) What then? only that in every way, falsely or truly, the preaching of Christ goes on; and in this I am glad, and will be glad.
(19) For I am conscious that this will be for my salvation, through your prayer and the giving out of the stored wealth of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
(20) In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.
Philippians 1:15-20 ALT
(15) Some indeed even because of envy and strife [or, rivalry], but some also because of goodwill [or, good motives] are preaching Christ.
(16) The [former ones] indeed proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition [or, self-interest], not sincerely [or, of pure motives], supposing to be causing me to be experiencing distress in my bonds,
(17) but the [latter ones] out of love, knowing that I stand [or, am appointed] for [the] defense of the Gospel.
(18) What then? Nevertheless, in every way, whether in pretence [or, with a false motive] or in truth [or, with a right motive], Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice, indeed also I will rejoice.
(19) For I know that this will lead to deliverance for me, through your* petition and the provision of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,
(20) according to my earnest expectation [or, eager longing] and hope [or, confident expectation], that in nothing I will be ashamed, _but_ with all boldness [or, confidence], as always, also now Christ will be magnified [or, highly praised] in my body, whether by means of [my] life or by means of [my] death.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
