Philippians 2:23

Philippians 2:23

21 For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.

22 But you know his proven character, ^athat as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.

23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me.

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

Epaphroditus Praised

25 Yet I considered it necessary to send to you ^aEpaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and ^bfellow soldier, ^cbut your messenger and ^dthe one who ministered to my need;

26 ^asince he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.

So soon as I shall see (wv an afidw). Indefinite temporal clause with wv an and the second aorist active subjunctive of aforaw. The oldest MSS. (Aleph A B D) have afidw (old aspirated form) rather than apidw.

How it will go with me (ta peri eme). On the force of apo with oraw (look away) see Hebrews 12:2. "The things concerning me," the outcome of the trial. Cf. I Corinthians 4:17, I Corinthians 4:19.
