* Yet I supposed (5662 ) it necessary to send (5658 ) to you Epaphroditus , my brother , and companion in labour , and fellowsoldier , but your messenger , and he that ministered to my wants . * For he (5713 ) longed after (5723 ) you all , and was full of heaviness (5723 ), because that ye had heard (5656 ) that he had been sick (5656 ). * For indeed he was sick (5656 ) nigh unto death : but God had mercy (5656 ) on him ; and not on him only , but on me also , lest I should have (5632 ) sorrow upon sorrow . * I sent (5656 ) him therefore the more carefully , that , when ye see (5631 ) him again , ye may rejoice (5647 ), and that I may be (5753 ) the less sorrowful . * Receive (5737 ) him therefore in the Lord with all gladness ; and hold (5720 ) such in reputation : * Because for the work of Christ he was nigh (5656 ) unto death , not regarding (5666 ) his life , to supply (5661 ) your lack of service toward me .
