Philippians 1:19-26 - Paul Honors Christ Whether He Lives Or Dies
19 for I know that through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my spiritual welfare, 20 in accordance with my eager expectation and hope that I shall never disgrace myself, but that now as always hitherto, by my all-conquering courage, whether by living or dying, Christ will be honored in me.
21 For to me living means Christ and dying brings gain. 22 But if to keep on living here means fruit from my labor, I cannot tell which to choose. 23 I am hesitating between two desires, for I long to depart and to be with Christ, for that is far, far better, 24 And yet for your sakes it is very necessary for me to stay on here. 25 Now since I am certain of this, I know that I shall stay on and stay by you all to promote the progress of your faith 26 which will result in your joy; so that, through union with Christ Jesus, you may have more than sufficient ground for boasting about me, through my being with you again.
