Philippians 1:19
Compare all
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

To Live Is Christ

19 For I know that athis will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,  
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but awith all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life bor by death.  
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I1 cannot tell.  
23 1For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a adesire to depart and be with Christ, which is bfar better.  
24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.
25 And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,

Philippians 1:19

Will turn (apobhsetai). Future middle indicative of apobainw, old verb, to come from, to come back, to turn out.

To my salvation (eiv swthrian). For his release from prison as he strongly hopes to see them again (Philippians 1:26). Lightfoot takes the word to be Paul's eternal salvation and it must be confessed that verse Philippians 1:20 (the close of this sentence) does suit that idea best. Can it be that Paul carried both conceptions in the word here?

Supply (epixorhgiav). Late and rare word (one example in inscription of first century AD). In N.T. only here and Ephesians 4:16. From the late verb epixorhgew (double compound, epi, xoros, hgeomai, to furnish supply for the chorus) which see in II Corinthians 9:10; Galatians 3:5.
