Philippians 1:23-27 I am in a dilemma between the two. My strong desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far the best.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ I am in a dilemma between the two. My strong desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far the best. ²⁴ But for your sakes it is necessary I should live on here below. ²⁵ I am sure it is, and so I know I shall remain alive and serve you all by forwarding your progress and fostering the joy of your faith. ²⁶ Thus you will have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus over me — over my return to you. ²⁷ Only, do lead a life that is worthy of the gospel of Christ. Whether I come and see you or only hear of you in absence, let me know you are standing firm in a common spirit, fighting side by side like one man for the faith of the gospel.
