I think you probably know what to do with EN XRISTWi so I'll address the EN EMOI. There are a number of uses of EN + dative. One which comes to mind as not being inapproriate here is "with [me]."
As regards "And I'm sure of this:" I would suggest that you might wish to alter that since in the preceding verse he states TO DE EPIMENEIN [EN] THi SARKI . . . . You lose the connection to "remain in the flesh" by not translating it as "remain."

Draft rendering:
And I'm sure of this: I am going to stay alive, and I'm going to spend time
with you all, for your advancement and joy in the faith. That way you'll be
able to brag all the more about Christ Jesus with me, thanks to my second
visit to you.
I'm unsure about the force of TO KAUCHMA hUMWN PERISSEUHi EN CRISTWi IHSOU
EN EMOI. It seems to me that Paul is implying that they are already proud of
Christ, and that they'll "crow all the more" when the proof of Christ's
power of salvation comes in the form of Paul visiting them after his release
from prison. But what does EN CRISTWi EN EMOI mean? Proud of Christ together
with Paul? Proud of Christ's work/power in Paul? Proud of Christ and proud
of Paul?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Webb Mealy
