Phil 1:21For to me, ato live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 1But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean afruitful labor for me; and I do not know 2which to choose. 23 But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the adesire to depart and bbe with Christ, for that is very much better; 24 yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake. 25 And aconvinced of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that your aproud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.
