Philippians 1:22

19 For I have known that this shall fall out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,

20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,

21 for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain.

22 And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not;

23 for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,

24 and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,

25 and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,
