Philippians 1:25 ASV

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;

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

²⁷  Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you and be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;
