Philippians:1:21-30

* For to me to live is Christ , and to die is gain . * But if I live in the flesh , this is the fruit of my labour : yet what I shall choose I wot not . * For I am in a strait betwixt two , having a desire to depart , and to be with Christ ; which is far better : * Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more 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 be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again . * Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ : that whether I come and see you , or else be absent , I may hear of your affairs , that ye stand fast in one spirit , with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel ; * And in nothing terrified by your adversaries : which is to them an evident token of perdition , but to you of salvation , and that of God . * For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ , not only to believe on him , but also to suffer for his sake ; * Having the same conflict which ye saw in me , and now hear to be in me .
