Philippians 2:25-30

25But I counted it necessaryG316 to sendG3992 to you EpaphroditusG1891, my brotherG80 and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messengerG652 and ministerG3011 to my needG5532; 26since he longed after you all, and wasG1510 sore troubled, because ye had heardG191 that he wasG1510 sickG770: 27for indeed he was sickG770 nigh unto deathG2288: but GodG2316 had mercyG1653 on him; and not on him onlyG3441, but on me alsoG2532, that I might not have sorrowG3077 upon sorrowG3077. 28I have sentG3992 him thereforeG3767 the more diligently, that, when ye seeG3708 him againG3825, ye may rejoiceG5463, and that I may beG1510 the less sorrowful. 29ReceiveG4327 him thereforeG3767 in the LordG2962 with all joyG5479; and holdG2192 suchG5108 in honor: 30because for the workG2041 of ChristG5547 he came nigh unto deathG2288, hazarding his lifeG5590 to supply that which was lackingG5303 in your serviceG3009 toward me.
