Philippians 1:23-27 But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better. ²⁴ But to abide still in the flesh is needful for you. ²⁵ And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith: ²⁶ That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again. ²⁷ Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.
