Philippians 1:21-30 - Living Is Christ
21 For, as I see it, living means Christ and dying something even better. 22 But if living on here means having my labor bear fruit, I cannot tell which to choose. 23 I am undecided between the two, for I long to depart and be with Christ, for that is far, far better, 24 and yet your needs make it very necessary for me to stay on here. 25 I am convinced of this, and so I know that I shall stay on and serve you all, to help you to develop and to be glad in your faith. 26 So you will find in me fresh cause for Christian exultation, through having me with you again.
27 Whatever happens, show yourselves citizens worthy of the good news of the Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am kept away and only hear news of you, I may know that you are standing firm with one spirit, one purpose, fighting side by side for faith in the good news. 28 Never for a moment falter before your opponents, for your fearlessness will be a sure sign for them of their coming destruction, but to you it will be an omen, from God himself, of your deliverance. 29 For you have been granted the privilege not only of trusting in Christ but of suffering for him. 30 Take your part in the same struggle that you have seen me engage in and that you hear I am still keeping up.
