me. Yet 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 better by far; 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 I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the
faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will
overflow on account of me.
