Philippians 2:19-24 - Timothy's Proven Character
19 But, if the Lord permits it, I hope before long to send Timothy to you, that I, in turn, may be cheered by getting news of you. 20 For I have no one likeminded with him, who will cherish a genuine care for you. 21 Everybody concerns himself about his own interests, not about those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know Timothy's approved worth--how, like a child working with his father, he has served with me in furtherance of the Good News. 23 So it is he that I hope to send as soon as ever I see how things go with me; 24 but trusting, as I do, in the Lord, I believe that I shall myself also come to you before long.
