[18] What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. [19] For I know that shall turn to salvation through prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, [20] According earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in body, whether it be by life, or by death. [21] For to live is Christ, and to die is gain. [22] But if I live in the flesh, is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. [23] For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and with Christ; which is far better: [24] Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for [25] And confidence, I know that I shall abide and all for furtherance and joy of faith; [26] That rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for by my coming to again.
