NET Bible
"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:"
— Philippians 1:22, NET Bible
“But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.”
“But if to live in the flesh,—if this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I know 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.”
“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 will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
My confident hope is that I will in no way be ashamed but that with complete boldness, even now as always, Christ will be exalted in my body, whether I live or die.
For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain.
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:
I feel torn between the two, because I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far,
but it is more vital for your sake that I remain in the body.
And since I am sure of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith,
