19For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,Select Philippians 1:19
20According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.Select Philippians 1:20
21For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.Select Philippians 1:21
22But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.Select Philippians 1:22
23For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:Select Philippians 1:23
24Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.Select Philippians 1:24
25And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;Select Philippians 1:25
