Philippians 1:19-26

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁹ For I know that this shall become my saving health through your prayer and the nourishment of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

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 I do not know what to choose.

²³ For I am in a strait between the 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.

²⁵ And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith,

²⁶ that your glorying in Jesus Christ may be more abundant by my coming to you again.
