But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, for it is very much better,

so that my bonds have become manifest as being in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others;

to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which is by Jesus Christ, to God's glory and praise.
