19 For I know that this shall turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of יהושע Messiah,
20 according to my intense longing and anticipation that I shall not be ashamed at all, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Messiah shall be made great in my body, whether by life or by death.
21 For to me, to live is Messiah, and to die is gain.
22 And if to live in the flesh is to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I do not know.
23 For I am pressed down by the two, having a desire to depart and be with Messiah, which is much better,
24 but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
25 And being persuaded of this, I know that I shall stay and continue with you all, for your progress and joy of belief,
