Verse
Philippians - ch 1 v 21 - 30
- For to me life is Christ and death is profit.
- But if I go on living in the flesh--if this is the fruit of my work--then I do not see what decision to make.
- I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better:
- Still, to go on in the flesh is more necessary because of you.
- And being certain of this, I am conscious that I will go on, yes, and go on with you all, for your growth and joy in the faith;
- So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.
- Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;
- Having no fear of those who are against you; which is a clear sign of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;
- Because to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:
- Fighting the same fight which you saw in me, and now have word of in me.
