rsv - Philippians:2:19-30

rsv@Philippians:2:19 @ I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I may be cheered by news of you.

rsv@Philippians:2:20 @ I have no one like him, who will be genuinely anxious for your welfare.

rsv@Philippians:2:21 @ They all look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

rsv@Philippians:2:22 @ But Timothy's worth you know, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

rsv@Philippians:2:23 @ I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me;

rsv@Philippians:2:24 @ and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself shall come also.

rsv@Philippians:2:25 @ I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphrodi'tus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need,

rsv@Philippians:2:26 @ for he has been longing for you all, and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill.

rsv@Philippians:2:27 @ Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

rsv@Philippians:2:28 @ I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious.

rsv@Philippians:2:29 @ So receive him in the Lord with all joy; and honor such men,

rsv@Philippians:2:30 @ for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete your service to me.
