Verse
Philippians - ch 1 v 21 - 30
- for to me to live `is' Christ, and to die gain.
- And if to live in the flesh `is' to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not;
- for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,
- and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
- and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,
- that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again to you.
- Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,
- and not terrified in anything by those opposing, which to them indeed is a token of destruction, and to you of salvation, and that from God;
- because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also on behalf of him to suffer;
- the same conflict having, such as ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.
