But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean afruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the adesire to depart and bbe with Christ, for that is very much better;yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

highlighted Philippians 1:15-20 NASB

aSome, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will;the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the agospel;the former proclaim Christ aout of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my bimprisonment.What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice.for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance athrough your prayers and the provision of bthe Spirit of Jesus Christ,according to my aearnest expectation and bhope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with call boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be dexalted in my body, ewhether by life or by death.

Behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it; behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who have already perished, so let us send and see."They took therefore two chariots with horses, and the king sent after the army of the Arameans, saying, "Go and see."They went after them to the Jordan, and behold, all the way was full of clothes and equipment which the Arameans had thrown away in their haste. Then the messengers returned and told the king.So the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. Then a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel, aaccording to the word of the Lord.Now the king appointed athe royal officer on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate; but the people trampled on him at the gate, and he died just as the man of God had said, bwho spoke when the king came down to him.
