Philippians 1:21-26 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ²² If I live in the flesh this will bring fruit from my labor. I do not know what to choose. ²³ I am hard pressed between the two. I have the desire to depart and be with Christ for it is far better. ²⁴ Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake. ²⁵ Having this confidence, I know that I will remain. Yes, I will remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith. ²⁶ Let your rejoicing abound in Christ Jesus through my presence with you again.
