Philippians 2:25-30
25But I thoughtG2233 it necessaryG316 to sendG3992 to you 1EpaphroditusG1891, my brotherG80 and 2fellowG4904 workerG4904 and 3fellowG4961 soldierG4961, who is alsoG1161 your 45messengerG652 and 6ministerG3011 to my needG5532,
26becauseG1894 he was longingG1971 7forG1971 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.
298ReceiveG4327 him thenG3767 in the LordG2962 with allG3956 joyG5479, and 9holdG2192 peopleG5108 likeG5108 him in highG1784 regardG1784,
30becauseG3754 he cameG1448 closeG1448 to deathG2288 1011for the workG2041 of ChristG5547, riskingG3850 his lifeG5590 to 12compensateG378 13for your absenceG5303 in your serviceG3009 to me.
