To Live Is Christ, To Die Is Gain

Philippians 1:21-26

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.
