Philippians 1:20-26 - Paul's Life For Christ

20 according to my eager expectation and hope that I will be shamed in nothing. But with all boldness, now as always, Christ will also be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.

21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if to live in flesh, this is fruit of labor to me, then what I will choose I know not. 23 And I am constrained by the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, being far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary because of you. 25 And having been convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and will continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith. 26 So that your pride may abound in Christ Jesus in me because of my presence with you again.
