Verse
Philippians - ch 2 v 21 - 30
- For all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
- But ye know the proof of him, that as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
- Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
- But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
- Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
- For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because ye had heard that he was sick.
- For indeed he was sick nigh to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
- I sent him therefore the more speedily, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
- Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
- Because for the work of Christ he was nigh to death, not regarding his life, to supply the want of your service towards me.
