Philippians 1:21-26

21For to me, 1to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 222But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean 3fruitful labor for me; and I do not know 4which to choose. 23But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the 5desire to depart and 6be with Christ, for that is very much better; 24yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sakes. 257Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy 8in the faith, 26so that your 9pride in Christ Jesus may be abundant because of me by my coming to you again.
