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.
