Philippians 1:20-26
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
20
according to my eager expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but
that
with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
21
For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22
But if
I am
to live
on
in the flesh, this
will mean
fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.
23
But I am hard-pressed from both
directions,
having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for
that
is very much better;
24
yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sakes.
25
Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
26
so that your pride in Christ Jesus may be abundant because of me by my coming to you again.
King James Version
Chapter 1
20
According to my 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 my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
21
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22
But if I live in the flesh, this 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 to be with Christ; which is far better:
24
Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
25
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
26
That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
20
My eager expectation and hope is that I will not be ashamed about anything, but that now as always, with all courage, Christ will be highly honored in my body, whether by life or by death.
21
For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
22
Now if I live on in the flesh, this means fruitful work for me; and I don’t know which one I should choose.
23
I am torn between the two. I long to depart and be with Christ —which is far better —
24
but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
25
Since I am persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
26
so that, because of my coming to you again, your boasting in Christ Jesus may abound.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
20
For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.
21
For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.
22
But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better.
23
I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me.
24
But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live.
25
Knowing this, I am convinced that I will remain alive so I can continue to help all of you grow and experience the joy of your faith.
26
And when I come to you again, you will have even more reason to take pride in Christ Jesus because of what he is doing through me.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
20
as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.
21
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22
If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.
23
I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.
24
But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.
25
Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
26
so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.
New International Version
Chapter 1
20
I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
21
For to me, to live is Christ 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 and be with Christ, which is better by far;
24
but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
25
Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
26
so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
20
according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
21
For to me, to live
is
Christ, and to die
is
gain.
22
But if
I
live on in the flesh, this
will mean
fruit from
my
labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell.
23
For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ,
which is
far better.
24
Nevertheless to remain in the flesh
is
more needful for you.
25
And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,
26
that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.
