24but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
24but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for 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.
1:24Nevertheless to abide in the flesh [is] more needful for you.
1:24But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.
1:24yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
1:24but remaining in the flesh is more necessary for your sakes;
1:24yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
1:24Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
1:24Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
1:24and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
1:24Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
