📖 Read Philippians 1

◀ Phi 1:22 Phi 1:24 ▶

But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

Context

20according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

21For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

22But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.

23But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

24Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

25Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

26that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
