Philippians 1:19-26

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ For I know that this shall cause my deliverance (through your prayer and by the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ)

²⁰ as I fervently expect and hope that in nothing shall I be ashamed. But that with all confidence (as always) so now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.

²¹ For, to me, Christ is life and death is gain.

²² But if living in the flesh brings fruit from my labor, what shall I choose? I do not know!

²³ For I am caught between both desiring to be released and to be with Christ (which is best of all).

²⁴ Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

²⁵ And of this I am sure: that I shall stay and continue with you all for the progress and joy of your faith,

²⁶ so that by my coming to you again your boasting in Jesus Christ may abound through me.
