Philippians 1:22-26

New American Standard Bible

^22 [a]But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean ^(A)fruitful labor for me; and I do not know ^[b]which to choose. ²³ But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the ^(B)desire to depart and ^(C)be with Christ, for that is very much better; ²⁴ yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sakes. ^25 (D)Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy ^[c]in the faith, ²⁶ so that your ^(E)pride in Christ Jesus may be abundant because of me by my coming to you again.
