For living is Christ to me, and death is gain. And yet - what if the continuance of my life in the flesh would produce more fruit for me? What I am to choose is not mine to declare. I am caught between two desires, for I have my desire to strike camp and to be with Christ, which is far better; but for your sake it is more essential for me to remain in this life. (William Barclay translation) Philippians 1:21-24
