Philippians 1:21

← Philippians 1:20	Philippians 1:21 (KJV)	Philippians 1:22 →
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.	For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.	But if I live in the flesh, this [is] the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
