Philippians 1:21

19For I have known that this will turn out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,

21for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.

22And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what will I choose? I do not know;

23for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,

24and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
