Philippians 1:21

Living Is Christ

²⁰ according to my eager expectation and hope, that I will be put to shame in nothing, but with all boldness, even now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether through life or through death. ²¹ For to me to live [is] Christ and to die [is] gain. ²² But if [it is] to live in the flesh, this [is] fruitful work for me, and which I will prefer [I do] not know.
