Philippians 1:22 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. But if I live in the flesh - Should I be spared longer, I shall labor for Christ as I have done; and this is the fruit of my labor, that Christ shall be magnified by my longer life, Philippians 1:20.

Yet what I shall choose I wot not - Had I the two conditions left to my own choice, whether to die now and go to glory, or whether to live longer in persecutions and affliction, (glorifying Christ by spreading the Gospel), I could not tell which to prefer.
