Philippians 1:19-26 - Paul Honors Christ Whether He Lives Or Dies

19 The outcome of all this, I know, will be my release, as you continue to pray for me, and as I am provided with the Spirit of Jesus Christ ??20 my eager desire and hope being that I may never feel ashamed but that now as ever I may do honour to Christ in my own person by fearless courage. Whether that means life or death, no matter!

21 As life means Christ to me, so death means gain. 22 But then, if it is to be life here below, that means fruitful work for me. So ??well, I cannot tell which to choose; 23 I am in a dilemma between the two. My strong desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far the best. 24 But for your sakes it is necessary I should live on here below. 25 I am sure it is, and so I know I shall remain alive and serve you all by forwarding your progress and fostering the joy of your faith. 26 Thus you will have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus over me ??over my return to you.
