Philippians 1:21-30

21ForG1063 to meG1473, to liveG2198 is ChristG5547, andG2532 to dieG599 is gainG2771. 22ButG1161 ifG1487 I go on livingG2198 inG1722 the bodyG4561, thisG3778 will mean fruitfulG2590 laborG2041 for meG1473. SoG2532 whatG5101 shall I chooseG138? I do not knowG3756G1107. 23I am tornG4912 betweenG1537 theG3588 twoG1417. I desireG2192G3588G1939 to departG1519G3588G360 andG2532 beG1510 withG4862 ChristG5547, which is farG4183G3123 betterG2908 indeedG1063. 24ButG1161 it is more necessaryG316 forG1223 youG4771 that I remainG1961 inG1722 theG3588 bodyG4561.

Convinced ofG3982 thisG3778, I knowG1492 thatG3754 I will remainG3306 andG2532 will continue withG3887 allG3956 of youG4771 forG1519 yourG4771 progressG4297 andG2532 joyG5479 in theG3588 faithG4102, 26so thatG2443 throughG1223 myG1699 comingG3952 toG4314 youG4771 againG3825 yourG4771 exultationG2745 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 will resoundG4052 on account ofG1722 meG1473.

27NeverthelessG3440, conduct yourselvesG4176 in a manner worthyG516 of theG3588 gospelG2098 of ChristG5547. ThenG2443, whetherG1535 I comeG2064 andG2532 seeG3708 youG4771 or onlyG1535 hearG191 aboutG4012 youG4771 in my absenceG548, I will know thatG3754 you stand firmG4739 inG1722 oneG1520 spiritG4151, contending togetherG4866 as oneG1520G55901 for theG3588 faithG4102 of theG3588 gospelG2098, 28without being frightenedG4426G3361 inG1722 any way byG5259 those whoG3588 opposeG480 you. This isG1510 a clear signG1732 of theirG846 destructionG684 butG1161 of yourG4771 salvationG4991, andG2532 it is fromG575 GodG2316. 29ForG3754 it has been grantedG5483 to youG4771 on behalfG5228 of ChristG5547 notG3756 onlyG3440 to believeG4100 inG1519 HimG846, butG235 alsoG2532 to sufferG3958 forG5228 HimG846, 30since you are encounteringG2192 theG3588 sameG846 struggleG73 you sawG3708 I hadG1722G1473, andG2532 now hear thatG191 I still haveG1722G1473G3568.
