PHILIPPIANS 1:18-26 ESV

What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth,

Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,

19for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit

of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, 20as it is my

eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but

that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my

body, whether by life or by death. 21For to me to live is Christ, and

to die is gain. 22If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor

for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23I am hard pressed

between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that

is far better. 24But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your

account. 25Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue

with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, 26so that in me

you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my

coming to you again.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20 ESV

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit

within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20for

you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
