Philippians 1:20-24

20accordingG2596 to my 1eagerG603 expectationG603 and 2hopeG1680, that I will not be putG153 toG153 shameG153 in anythingG3762, but that with 3allG3956 boldnessG3954, ChristG5547 will evenG2532 nowG3568, as alwaysG3842, be 4exaltedG3170 in my bodyG4983, 5whetherG1535 by lifeG2222 orG1535 by deathG2288.

21For to me, 6to liveG2198 is ChristG5547, and to dieG599 is gainG2771.

227But ifG1487 I am to liveG2198 on in the fleshG4561, thisG3778 will mean 8fruitfulG2590 laborG2041 for me; and I do not knowG1107 9whichG5101 to chooseG138.

23But I am hard-pressedG4912 from bothG1417 directions, havingG2192 the 10desireG1939 to departG360 and 11be with ChristG5547, for that is veryG4183 muchG4183 betterG2909;

24yetG1161 to remainG1961 on in the fleshG4561 is moreG316 necessaryG316 for your sakesG1223.
