Context of Philippians 2:24

22But you know what Timothy is like. He has worked with me like a son works to help his father. Together we have taught people God's good news. 23That is why I hope to send him to you soon. But first, I want to know what will happen to me here. The Lordhas helped me to hope that I will soon come to you myself. 25Whatever happens, I think I must send Epaphroditus to come back to you. He is our true Christian brother. He has worked with me to serve God together. We have worked hard, like soldiers. When I needed help, you sent him to me. He has helped me on your behalf. 26Now he wants very much to see all of you again. He became very sad, because you heard the message that he was ill.
