Philippians 1:19-26 - Paul Honors Christ Whether He Lives Or Dies
19 For I know that this shall chance to my salvation, through your prayer, and ministering of the spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 as I heartily look for and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed: but that with all confidence, as always in times past, even so now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be through life, or else death.
21 For Christ is to me life, and death is to me advantage. 22 If it chance me to live in the flesh, that is to me fruitful for to work, and what to choose I know not. 23 I am constrained of two things. I desire to be loosed, and to be with Christ, which thing is best of all: 24 Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And this am I sure of, that I shall abide, and with you all continue, for the furtherance and joy of your faith, 26 that ye may more abundantly rejoice in Jesus Christ through me, by my coming to you again.
