Philippians 1:20-23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 My eager expectation and hope is that I shall not be put to shame in any way, but that with all boldness, now as always, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.(A) 21 For to me life is Christ, and death is gain.(B) 22 If I go on living in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. And I do not know which I shall choose.(C) 23 I am caught between the two. I long to depart this life and be with Christ, [for] that is far better.(D)
