Today on the broadcast I will be talking aboutTimothy and EpaphroditusPhillipians 2:19-30But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.Php 2:20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.Php 2:21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.Php 2:22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.Php 2:23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.Php 2:24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.Php 2:25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.Php 2:26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.Php 2:27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.Php 2:28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.Php 2:29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:Php 2:30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
