Philippians 1:20-24
New American Standard Bible
20 according to my (A)eager expectation and (B)hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with (C)all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be (D)exalted in my body, (E)whether by life or by death.
To Live Is Christ
21 For to me, (F)to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 [a]But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean (G)fruitful labor for me; and I do not know [b]which to choose. 23 But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the (H)desire to depart and (I)be with Christ, for that is very much better; 24 yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sakes.

Philippians 1:20-24
New International Version
20 I eagerly expect(A) and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage(B) so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body,(C) whether by life or by death.(D) 21 For to me, to live is Christ(E) and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart(F) and be with Christ,(G) which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
