"For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. "
— Philippians 1:21, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ”
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
“For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain.”
“For to me, to live is Christ: and to die is gain.”
“For to me life is Christ and death is profit.”
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
But what does it matter? As long as, by every means, whether under pretext or in truthfulness, Christ is announced. And about this, I rejoice, and moreover, I will continue to rejoice.
For I know that this will bring me to salvation, through your prayers and under the ministration of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
by means of my own expectation and hope. For in nothing shall I be confounded. Instead, with all confidence, now just as always, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
And while I live in the flesh, for me, there is the fruit of works. But I do not know which I would choose.
For I am constrained between the two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, which is the far better thing,
but then to remain in the flesh is necessary for your sake.
