C.  Paul's Afflictions Exalt the Lord     1:19-26

Phi 1:19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

Phi 1:20 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.

Phi 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Phi 1:22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

Phi 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

Phi 1:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

Phi 1:25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

Phi 1:26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
