Philippians 1:20-24

20My eager expectation and hope is that I will not be ashamed about anything, but that now as always, with all courage, Christ will be highly honored in my body, whether by life or by death.

21For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

22Now if I live on in the flesh, this means fruitful work for me; and I don’t know which one I should choose.

23I am torn between the two. I long to depart and be with Christ  — which is far better  —

24but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
