Ephesians 2:3-10
Christian Standard Bible
3 We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly(A) desires, carrying out the inclinations(B) of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath(C) as the others were also. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy,(D) because of his great love(E) that he had for us,[a] 5 made us alive(F) with Christ even though we were dead(G) in trespasses. You are saved by grace! 6 He also raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus,(H) 7 so that in the coming ages(I) he might display the immeasurable riches(J) of his grace through his kindness(K) to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For you are saved by grace(L) through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift— 9 not from works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created(M) in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time(N) for us to do.

Philippians 1:19-26
Christian Standard Bible
19 because I know this will lead to my salvation[a](A) through your prayers and help from the Spirit(B) of Jesus Christ.(C) 20 My eager expectation and hope(D) is that I will not be ashamed about anything, but that now as always, with all courage, Christ will be highly honored in my body, whether by life(E) or by death.(F)
Living Is Christ
21 For me, to live is Christ(G) and to die is gain.(H) 22 Now if I live on in the flesh, this means fruitful(I) work(J) for me; and I don’t know which one I should choose. 23 I am torn between the two. I long to depart and be with Christ(K)—which is far better(L)— 24 but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for your sake. 25 Since I am persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,(M) 26 so that, because of my coming to you again, your boasting(N) in Christ Jesus(O) may abound.
