Philippians 1:19–30

19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation qthrough your prayer, and the supply of rthe Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 According to my searnest expectation and my hope, that tin nothing I shall be ashamed, but that uwith all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21 For to me wto live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23 For xI am in a strait betwixt two, yhaving a desire zto depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And ahaving this confidence, I know that I shall babide and continue with you all for your cfurtherance and joy of faith; 26 That dyour rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

27 Only elet your conversation be fas it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye gstand fast in one spirit, with hone mind istriving together for the faith of the gospel; 28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: kwhich is to them an evident token of perdition, klbut to you of salvation, and that of God. 29 For munto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also lto suffer for his sake; 30 Having the same nconflict owhich ye saw in me, and pnow hear to be in me.
