Philippians 1:21-26

21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell.

22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!

23 For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;

24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

25 And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,

25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

26 that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.

26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.
