Philippians 1:19-26
World English Bible
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose. 23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. 24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake. 25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

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.
