Philippians 2:25-30 But I feel that I must send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow-laborer, and fellow-soldier, whom you sent to look after my needs.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ But I feel that I must send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow-laborer, and fellow-soldier, whom you sent to look after my needs. ²⁶ For he has been longing to see you all, and has been greatly distressed because you heard that he was sick. ²⁷ For he was sick, and nearly died, but God took pity on him, and not only on him, but on me, to save me from having one sorrow after another. ²⁸ So I am all the more eager to send him, so that you may have the pleasure of seeing him again, and I may feel more relieved. ²⁹ So give him a hearty Christian welcome, and value men like him very highly, ³⁰ for he came near dying for the Lord's work, and risked his life to make up for what was lacking in the service you have done me.
