Philippians 1:21 Context
19For I know that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and the supplie of the spirit of Iesus Christ, 20According to my earnest expectation, and my hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed: but that with all boldnes, as alwayes, so now also Christ shal be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. 21For to me to liue is Christ, and to die is gaine. 22But if I liue in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shal chuse, I wote not. 23For I am in a strait betwixt two, hauing a desire to depart, & to bee with Christ, which is farre better.
