So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

Him then I am hoping to send as quickly as possible, when I am able to see how things will go for me:

I have sent him, then, the more gladly, so that when you see him again, you may be happy and I may have the less sorrow.

And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only;
