Verse
Philippians - ch 1 v 21 - 30
- For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
- But if to live in the flesh, --`if' this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I know not.
- But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:
- yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
- And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;
- that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
- Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you and be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;
- and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that from God;
- because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:
- having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
