Philippians 1:21-26

21 For to me ^ato live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 ^bI am hard pressed between the two. My desire is ^cto depart and ^dbe with Christ, for that is far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. 25 ^eConvinced of this, ^fI know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your ^gprogress and ^hjoy in the faith, 26 so that in me ⁱyou may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.
