American Standard Version
"But if to live in the flesh,—if this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I know not. "
— Philippians 1:22, American Standard Version
“But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.”
“But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don't know what I will choose.”
“Now if I am to go on living in the body, this will mean productive work for me, yet I don’t know which I prefer:”
“And if to live in the flesh: this is to me the fruit of labour. And what I shall choose I know not.”
“But if I go on living in the flesh--if this is the fruit of my work--then I do not see what decision to make.”
“But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.”
For I know that this shall turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also 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.
But if to live in the flesh,—if this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I know not.
But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:
yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;
