50:001:016 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

50:001:017 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

50:001:018 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

50:001:019 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

50:001:020 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

50:001:021 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

50:001:022 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

50:001:023 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

50:001:024 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

50:001:025 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
