24but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly.

25But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need;

26since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick:

27for indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

28I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

29Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:

30because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
