nkjv Philippians:2:27-30
nkjv@Philippians:2:27 @ For indeed he was sick almost unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
nkjv@Philippians:2:28 @ Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful.
nkjv@Philippians:2:29 @ Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem;
nkjv@Philippians:2:30 @ because for the work of Christ he came close to death, not regarding his life, to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.
