Philippians 2:17-24

17But even if I am poured out as a drink offering on the sacrificial service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

18In the same way you should also be glad and rejoice with me.

19Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon so that I too may be encouraged by news about you.

20For I have no one else like-minded who will genuinely care about your interests;

21all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

22But you know his proven character, because he has served with me in the gospel ministry like a son with a father.

23Therefore, I hope to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.

24I am confident in the Lord that I myself will also come soon.
