Philippians 2:17-28

17But evenG2532 ifG1487 I am being 1pouredG4689 outG4689 asG4689 aG4689 drinkG4689 offeringG4689 upon 2the sacrificeG2378 and serviceG3009 of your faithG4102, I rejoiceG5463 and shareG4796 my joyG4796 withG4796 you allG3956. 18You tooG2532, I urge you, rejoiceG5463 in the sameG846 wayG846 and shareG4796 your joyG4796 withG4796 me.

19But I hopeG1679, 3in the LordG2962 JesusG2424, to 4sendG3992 5TimothyG5095 to you shortlyG5030, soG2443 thatG2443 I alsoG2532 may beG2174 encouragedG2174 when I learnG1097 of your conditionG3588G4012. 20For I haveG2192 noG3762 oneG3762 else 6ofG2473 kindredG2473 spiritG2473 whoG3748 will genuinelyG1104 be concernedG3309 for your welfareG3588. 21For they allG3956 7seekG2212 afterG2212 their ownG1438 interests, not thoseG3588 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 22But you knowG1097 8of his provenG1382 characterG1382, that 9he servedG1398 with me in the furtherance of the gospelG2098 10likeG5613 a childG5043 serving his fatherG3962. 2311ThereforeG3767 I hopeG1679 to sendG3992 him immediatelyG1824, as soon as I seeG872 howG872 thingsG3588 go with me; 24and 12I trustG3982 in the LordG2962 that I myselfG846 will alsoG2532 be comingG2064 shortlyG5030. 25But I thoughtG2233 it necessaryG316 to sendG3992 to you 13EpaphroditusG1891, my brotherG80 and 14fellowG4904 workerG4904 and 15fellowG4961 soldierG4961, who is alsoG1161 your 1617messengerG652 and 18ministerG3011 to my needG5532, 26becauseG1894 he was longingG1971 19forG1971 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 onlyG3441 on him but alsoG2532 on me, soG2443 thatG2443 I would not haveG2192 sorrowG3077 upon sorrowG3077. 28ThereforeG3767 I have sentG3992 him allG4709 theG4709 moreG4709 eagerlyG4709, soG2443 thatG2443 when you seeG3708 him againG3825 you may rejoiceG5463 and I may be lessG253 concernedG253 about you.
