New International Version
Philippians 1:20-24
New International Version
20 I eagerly expect(A) and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage(B) so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body,(C) whether by life or by death.(D) 21 For to me, to live is Christ(E) and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart(F) and be with Christ,(G) which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
Philippians 1:20-24
King James Version
Philippians 1:20-24
King James Version
20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
