Philippians 1:22-26

22If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 aI am hard pressed between the two. My desire is bto depart and cbe with Christ, for that is far better. 24But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. 25 dConvinced of this, eI know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your fprogress and gjoy in the faith, 26so that in me hyou may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.
