Philippians 1:22-26

22But if to live in the flesh,—if this is the fruit of my work, then what I shall choose I wot not.

23But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:

24yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

25And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;

26that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
