The King James Version Bible

Philippians 1:21-26

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

  2. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

  3. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

  4. Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

  5. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

  6. That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
