as always, now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death. Phil.1:20

for it is very far better: yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake. Phil.1:23-24
5. And having this confidence,
I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith. Phil.1:25
6. That your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again. Phil.1:26

I may hear of your state that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel. 1:27
