Philippians 1:20-24

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

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

22If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.

23I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.

24But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.
