22. But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
23. But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Messiah, which is far better.
24. Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
25. Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
26. that your rejoicing may abound in Messiah Yeshua in me through my presence with you again.
