Bible: Phil. 1:19-26
1:19 for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance 1 through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 1:20 My confident hope 2 is that I will in no way be ashamed 3 but that with complete boldness, even now as always, Christ will be exalted in my body, whether I live or die. 4 1:21 For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain. 1:22 Now if I am to go on living in the body, 5 this will mean productive work 6 for me, yet I don’t know which I prefer: 7 1:23 I feel torn between the two, 8 because I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far, 1:24 but it is more vital for your sake that I remain 9 in the body. 10 1:25 And since I am sure of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for the sake of your progress 11 and joy in the faith, 12 1:26 so that what you can be proud of may increase 13 because of me in Christ Jesus, when I come back to you. 14
