Here's my (preliminary) rendering of Phil. 1:19-26.
Watcha think?
For I know full well that what is happening to me here in Rome will turn out for my ultimate vindication and maybe even for my deliverance from prison, thanks to your petitions on my behalf and the generous resources of the Spirit of Jesus Christ they will release. As I look to the future, I do so with the hopeful expectation that I will never be put to shame by anything but that now, as always, Christ will be magnified in my body whether I live or die. For to me, "living" means simply Christ, and if I die I merely gain more of him!
But if by continuing to live on in my body my work will produce more results for the gospel, then I'm not sure which option I prefer. I'm finding it hard to choose between the two. Naturally, I'd like to "break camp," leave this life, and be with Christ. For me, that's obviously the far better choice. But for you, it's much more important than I remain alive.
Since I'm convinced that I've still got work to do down here, I feel certain that I will continue to live. I will remain and stay on with all of you to help you make progress in your faith and become even more joyful. And so, by coming to you again, you will have even more reason to be proud of me in your life in union with Christ Jesus.
