Philippians:2:19-30
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you ,
that I also may be of good comfort ,
when I know your state .
*
For I have no man likeminded ,
who will naturally care for your state .
*
For all seek their own ,
not the things which are Jesus Christ '
s .
*
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 labour ,
and fellowsoldier ,
but your messenger ,
and he that ministered to my wants .
*
For he longed after you all ,
and was full of heaviness ,
because that ye had heard that he had been sick .
*
For indeed he was sick nigh unto 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 carefully ,
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 unto death ,
not regarding his life ,
to supply your lack of service toward me .
