Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. As the river's flowing, even away amid inland hills, is all advance towards the distant sea: as the blossom's beauty, even in early April days, is all progress towards the autumn fruit; so all St. Paul's life, even those acts and thoughts that seemed remotest, was a means to an end — Christ.
