Philippians

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
