Philippians 2:17-24

17Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

18Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

19I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you.

20For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare.

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

22But you know Timothy's proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

23I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me,

24and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.
