Philippians 1:20-23

20For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.

21For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.

22But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better.

23I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me.
