Philippians 1:21-26

YLT

NIV

21 for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain.
21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
22 And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not;
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 pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,
23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;
24 and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
25 and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the 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 boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again to you.
26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.
