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

Evangelical Heritage Version
19 because I know that this will turn out for my deliverance, through your prayer and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 20 This matches my earnest expectation and hope that I will in no way be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, so even now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 Yes, for me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I am to go on living in the flesh, that will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet which should I prefer? I do not know. 23 I am pulled in two directions, because I have the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far. 24 But, it is more necessary for your sake that I remain in the flesh. 25 And since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you, for your progress and joy in the faith. 26 And so by my coming to you again, my goal is to give you even more reason to boast in Christ Jesus.
