Philippians 1:21-24 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

21. For me, life finds all of its meaning in Christ. Death also has its benefits.

22. Suppose I go on living in my body. Then I will be able to carry on my work. It will bear a lot of fruit. But what should I choose? I don't know.

23. I can't decide between the two. I long to leave this world and be with Christ. That is better by far.

24. But it is more important for you that I stay alive.
