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.
