21 For Christ is to me both in life and in death advantage.

22 [a]And whether to live in the [b]flesh were profitable for me, and what to choose I know not.

23 For I am distressed between both, desiring to be loosed and to be with Christ, which is best of all.

24 Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh, is more needful for you.

25 And this am I sure of, that I shall abide, and with you all continue, for your furtherance and joy of your faith,

26 That ye may more abundantly rejoice in JESUS CHRIST for me, by my coming to you again.
