Philippians 1:22-25

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.

25And since I am sure of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith,
