Philippians 1 verse 12 to 14 reads:
12Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. 13As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. 14Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly.

Let’s say it another way:
Whether through word or deed, seek to advance the gospel. Amen
