For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.

因我活着就是基督，我死了就有益处。

因为我活着就是基督，死了就有益处。

因为我活着就是基督，死了就有益处。

因为对我来说，活着是为了基督，死了也有益处。

因我活着就是基督，我死了就有益處。

因為我活着就是基督，死了就有益處。

因為對我來說，活著是為了基督，死了也有益處。

因為我活著就是基督，我死了就有益處。

因為在我看，活着就是基督，死去也是贏得。

因為對我來說，活著就是基督，死去就有益處。

蓋我之生即基督、死亦有益、

我生為基督、死而獲益、

我生乃為基督、死則獲益、

自予觀之、生是基督死是福、如是而已矣。

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

For me, life finds all its meaning in Christ. Death also has its benefits.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

For me, living is Christ and dying is gain.

For to me to live[ is] Christ, and to die[ is] gain.

For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.

For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down( that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.

I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me.

So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord.

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.

And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?( As the Scriptures say,“ For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”)No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow— not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.No power in the sky above or in the earth below— indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And I heard a voice from heaven saying,“ Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!”

And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope.For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died.

Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come.For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.

As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died.

God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.

All the others care only for themselves and not for what matters to Jesus Christ.

whether Paul or Apollos or Peter, or the world, or life and death, or the present and the future. Everything belongs to you,
