Philippians 1:23

Living Is Christ

²² But if I go on living in the flesh--if this is the fruit of my work--then I do not see what decision to make. ²³ I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better: ²⁴ Still, to go on in the flesh is more necessary because of you.
