Philippians 1:19-26 - Paul Honors Christ Whether He Lives Or Dies
19 For I know that this shall issue in my salvation through your prayers, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my firm expectation and hope, that I shall be confounded by no event, but that with all boldness, as always hitherto, Christ shall now also be magnified in my body, whether by my life or death.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if it be his will, that I should live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my travail: and what to chuse I know not. 23 For I am in a strait between the two, having an earnest longing to be dissolved, and to be with Christ, for this is far, far better: 24 but to abide in the flesh may be more necessary for you. 25 And being so persuaded, I know that I shall stay and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith; 26 that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus for me by my coming again unto you.
