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

20 According to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall be put to shame in nothing; but that with all freedom of speech, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain: and if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor: 22 so that I know not what to chuse; 23 for I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is much preferable: 24 but to abide in the flesh is more necessary for you. 25 And as I am confident of this, I know that I shall abide and shall continue with you all, for your improvement and the joy of your faith: 26 that your rejoicing in Christ Jesus may abound through me, by my coming to you again.
