Yes, ¹  and I will continue to rejoice, 1:19 for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance ²  through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 1:20 My confident hope ³  is that I will in no way be ashamed ⁴  but that with complete boldness, even now as always, Christ will be exalted in my body, whether I live or die. ⁵  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, ⁶  this will mean productive work ⁷  for me, yet I don’t know which I prefer: ⁸  1:23 I feel torn between the two, ⁹  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 ¹⁰  in the body. ¹¹  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 ¹²  and joy in the faith, ¹³  1:26 so that what you can be proud of may increase ¹⁴  because of me in Christ Jesus, when I come back to you. ¹⁵
