In this verse, Paul talks about His passion in life. Specifically, it is about eager expectation and hope. That passion — or longing — has two components: 1: that he is not ashamed (of Christ) and 2. that Christ would be honored in Paul, whether by life or by death. Therefore, Paul would be happy if in everything he did in his body (whether in life or in death) Christ was made to look great.
So, expect and hope that you will never do anything to be ashamed of. Whether you live or die, aim always that you wanted to be as brave like Paul in prison and bring honor to Christ. Continue to be bold for Christ. Trust that your life will bring honor to Christ, whether you live or die.
