Context of Philippians 2:24

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. I am confident in the Lord that I myself will also come soon. 25But I considered it necessary to send you Epaphroditus — my brother, coworker, and fellow soldier, as well as your messenger and minister to my need — 26since he has been longing for all of you and was distressed because you heard that he was sick.
