Philippians 1:24-26

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁴ But to remain in my body is more needful and essential for your sake.

²⁵ Since I am convinced of this, I know that I shall remain and stay by you all, to promote your progress and joy in believing,

²⁶ So that in me you may have abundant cause for exultation and glorying in Christ Jesus, through my coming to you again.
