Philippians 2:19-30
Timothy and Epaphroditus

19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

19:

20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.

20:

21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.

21:

22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

22:

23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

23:

24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

24:

25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

25:

26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

26:

27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

27:

28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

28:

29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

29:

30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

30:
