To Live Is Christ, To Die Is Gain

Philippians 1:21-26

For to me, to live is Christ: and to die is gain.

And if to live in the flesh: this is to me the fruit of labour. And what I shall choose I know not.

But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.

But to abide still in the flesh is needful for you.

And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:

That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.
