Philippians 1:20-24

20My confident hope is that I will in no way be ashamed but that with complete boldness, even now as always, Christ will be exalted in my body, whether I live or die.

21For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain.

22Now if I am to go on living in the body, this will mean productive work for me, yet I don’t know which I prefer:

23I feel torn between the two, because I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far,

24but it is more vital for your sake that I remain in the body.
