New King James Version
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but (A)with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life (B)or by death. 21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I [a]cannot tell. 23 [b]For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a (C)desire to depart and be with Christ, which is (D)far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

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.
