21. For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain.
22. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour, yet I do not know what to choose.
23. For I am in a strait between the two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better:
24. nevertheless, to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
25. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith,
26. that your glorying in Jesus Christ may be more abundant by my coming to you again.
