22But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know.
23I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.
24But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
25Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
26so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.
— Philippians 1:22-26
