Conquer Shame

Philippians 1:20-24
For I fully expect and hope

that I will never be ashamed,

but that I will continue

to be bold for Christ,

as I have been in the past.

And I trust that my life

will bring honor to Christ,

whether I live or die.

For to me,

living means living for Christ,

and dying is even better.

But if I live,

I can do more fruitful work

for Christ.

So I really don’t know

which is better.

I’m torn between two desires:

I long to go and be with Christ,

which would be far better for me.

But for your sakes,

it is better that I continue to live.
