Philippians 1:19-27

19for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and [the] supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;

20according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but in all boldness, as always, now also Christ shall be magnified in my body whether by life or by death.

21For for me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain;

22but if to live in flesh [is my lot], this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.

23But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, [for] [it is] very much better,

24but remaining in the flesh [is] more necessary for your sakes;

25and having confidence of this, I know that I shall remain and abide along with you all, for your progress and joy in faith;

26that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus through me by my presence again with you.

27Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent, I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict with the faith of the glad tidings;
