KJV ²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

KJV ²² But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

KJV ²³ For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

KJV ²⁴ Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

KJV ²⁵ And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

KJV ²⁶ That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
