Philippians 2:27

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.

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.

28 Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful.

29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem;

30 because for the work of Christ he came close to death,¹ not regarding his life, ^ato supply what was lacking in your service toward me.
