Philippians 1:24
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
In context
22 But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know.
23 I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.
24 But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.
