Philippians 1:20–26

20

according 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.

21

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

22

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

26

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