Philippians 1:21

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:21 · World English Bible

In context

19For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

20according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

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

22But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.

23But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
