Philippians 1:19-26 - Paul Honors Christ Whether He Lives Or Dies
19 For I know that this will turn out to me unto salvation, through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall be ashamed in nothing, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
21 For Christ is my life, and death is my gain. 22 But if to live in the flesh, this shall be to me the fruit of the work, indeed I know not what I shall ask. 23 But I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ; for this is far better: 24 but to remain in the flesh is safer on account of you. 25 And having confidence in this, I know that I shall abide with you all, unto your promotion and the joy of your faith; 26 in order that your rejoicing in Christ Jesus may abound in me through my coming again unto you.
