Philippians 1:21-26
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
21 for to me, the living is Christ, and the dying[a] is gain.
Death Would Be Much Better For Me, But I Know I Will Continue To Live For Your Sake
22 Now if it is the living in the flesh, this for me means fruit from work. And I do not know[b] what I shall choose, 23 but am gripped[c] by the two— having the desire that I might depart and be with Christ, for that is better by much more, 24 but the remaining in the flesh is more-necessary for your sake. 25 And being confident-of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your advancement and joy of faith, 26 in order that your boast may be abounding in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again with you.
