Read Philippians 1:19-26 NIV
Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in the body whether by life or death. For to me , to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary that I remain in the body. Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.
