Philippians 1:23 ASV

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

²²  But if to live in the flesh, --'if' this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I know not.

²³  But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:

²⁴  yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

²⁵  And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;
