21 But if I live in the flesh, ye are the fruit of my labor. Yet what I shall choose I know not.
22 For me to live, is to do the will of Christ; and to die, is my gain.
23 Now 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 with me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ, for my coming to you again.
27 Therefore let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ; that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries, who reject the gospel, which bringeth on them destruction; but you who receive the gospel, salvation; and that of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now know to be in me.
Philippians 2 Intro: Paul exhorteth to unity, Christ's humility and exaltation -- The saints to be lights to the world.
