21
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22
But if to live in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; then I don`t make known what I will choose.
23
But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very 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 Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
