Philippians 1

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

For I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
