Philippians 1:19-26
New International Version

19 for I know that through your prayers(A) and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ(B) what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[a](C) 20 I eagerly expect(D) and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage(E) so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body,(F) whether by life or by death.(G) 21 For to me, to live is Christ(H) and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart(I) and be with Christ,(J) which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.

Philippians 1:19-26
International Standard Version

19 I know that this will result in my deliverance through your prayers and the help that comes from the Spirit of Jesus the Messiah.[a] 20 I rejoice because I eagerly expect and hope that I will have nothing to be ashamed of, because through my[b] boldness the Messiah[c] will be exalted through me,[d] now as always, whether I live or die.[e]

21 For to me, to go on living is the Messiah,[f] and to die is gain. 22 Now if I continue living, fruitful labor is the result, so I do not know which I would prefer. 23 Indeed, I cannot decide between the two. I have the desire to leave this life and be with the Messiah,[g] for that is far better. 24 But for your sake it is better that I remain alive.[h]

25 Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will continue to live and be with all of you, so you will mature in the faith and know joy in it. 26 Then your rejoicing in the Messiah[i] Jesus will increase along with mine[j] when I visit with you again.
