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.

Philippians 1:19-26
New American Standard Bible
19 for I know that this will turn out for my [a]deliverance (A)through your [b]prayers and the provision of (B)the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my (C)eager expectation and (D)hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with (E)all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be (F)exalted in my body, (G)whether by life or by death.
To Live Is Christ
21 For to me, (H)to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 [c]But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean (I)fruitful labor for me; and I do not know [d]which to choose. 23 But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the (J)desire to depart and (K)be with Christ, for that is very much better; 24 yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sakes. 25 (L)Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy [e]in the faith, 26 so that your (M)pride in Christ Jesus may be abundant because of me by my coming to you again.
