You can translate this in a positive form. Possible meanings are that 1) Paul believes that the gospel is true, and he is not afraid of being ashamed for having believed something false. Alternate translation: "I am completely confident that the gospel is true" 2) Paul believes that the gospel is morally good, and he is not afraid of being deceived into doing evil. Alternate translation: "I know the gospel teaches me to do what pleases God"
