Verse
Philippians - ch 1 v 21 - 30
- For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
- But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don't make known what I will choose.
- But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
- Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
- Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
- that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
- Only let your manner of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
- and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
- Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
- having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.
