## It is my confident expectation and certainty ##

Here the words "confident expectation" and "certainty" mean basically the same thing. Paul uses them together to emphasize how strong his expectation is. AT: "I am completely convinced" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])

## But with all courage, as always and especially right now ##

AT: "But I will have enough courage right now, as I have always had"

## I will bring glory to Christ in my body ##

Paul uses the physical "body" to represent his life or the way he lives. AT: "so that I will honor Christ with all that I do" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

## whether by life or by death ##

AT: "if I go on living or if I die"

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

AT: "Because if I go on living, I will live for Christ, and if I die, that is even better"
