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.  ‡

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.
