Philippians 2:19-30
19But I hopeG1679 1in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 to 2sendG3992 3TimothyG5095 to you shortlyG5030, soG2443 that I alsoG2532 may be encouragedG2174 when I learnG1097 of your conditionG3588G4012.
20For I haveG2192 noG3762 oneG3762 else 4of kindredG2473 spiritG2473 whoG3748 will genuinelyG1104 be concernedG3309 for your welfareG3588.
21For they allG3956 5seekG2212 afterG2212 their ownG1438 interests, not thoseG3588 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
22But you knowG1097 6of his provenG1382 worthG1382, that 7he servedG1398 with me in the furtherance of the gospelG2098 8likeG5613 a childG5043 serving his fatherG3962.
239ThereforeG3767 I hopeG1679 to sendG3992 him immediatelyG1824, as soon as I seeG872 howG872 thingsG3588 go with me;
24and 10I trustG3982 in the LordG2962 that I myselfG846 alsoG2532 will be comingG2064 shortlyG5030.
25But I thoughtG2233 it necessaryG316 to sendG3992 to you 11EpaphroditusG1891, my brotherG80 and 12fellowG4904 workerG4904 and 13fellowG4961 soldierG4961, who is alsoG1161 your 1415messengerG652 and 16ministerG3011 to my needG5532;
26becauseG1894 he was longingG1971 17for you allG3956 and was distressedG85 becauseG1360 you had heardG191 that he was sickG770.
27For indeedG2532 he was sickG770 to the pointG3897 of deathG2288, but GodG2316 hadG1653 mercyG1653 on him, and not on him onlyG3441 but alsoG2532 on me, soG2443G3361 that I would not haveG2192 sorrowG3077 upon sorrowG3077.
28ThereforeG3767 I have sentG3992 him allG4709 the moreG4709 eagerlyG4709 soG2443 that when you seeG3708 him againG3825 you may rejoiceG5463 and I may be lessG253 concernedG253 about you.
2918ReceiveG4327 him thenG3767 in the LordG2962 with allG3956 joyG5479, and 19holdG2192 menG5108 likeG5108 him in highG1784 regardG1784;
30becauseG3754 he cameG1448 closeG1448 to deathG2288 2021for the workG2041 of ChristG5547, riskingG3850 his lifeG5590 to 22completeG378 23whatG5303 was deficientG5303 in your serviceG3009 to me.
