Philippians 1:19-26 - Paul Honors Christ Whether He Lives Or Dies
19 For I know that, this, shall turn unto me for salvation - through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, - 20 According to my eager outlook and hope, that, in nothing, shall I be put to shame, but, with all freedom of speech, as always, now also, shall Christ be magnified in my body, whether through means of life, or of death.
21 For, unto me - living, is Christ, and, dying, gain. 22 But, if living in flesh, is Christ , this, unto me, is a fruit of work, - and, what I shall choose, I make not known: 23 I am held in constraint, however, by reason of the two, - having, the coveting, to be released, and to be with, Christ, for it were far better! 24 But, to abide still in the flesh, is more needful for your sake; 25 And, of, this, being assured, know that I shall abide, - yea abide with you all, for your advancement, and the joy of your faith; 26 In order that, your matter of boasting, may be more abundant in Christ Jesus, regarding me, through my own presence again with you.
