To send

So it is he that I hope to send as soon as ever I see how things go with me;

Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Christ Jesus: To all God's people in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the ministers of the Church and their assistants.

Timothy, my fellow worker, sends you greetings, and so do my countrymen Lucius, Jason and Sosipater.

For this reason I have sent Timothy to you. Spiritually he is my dearly-loved and faithful child. He will remind you of my habits as a Christian teacher--the manner in which I teach everywhere in every Church.

But in order that you also may know how I am doing, Tychicus our dearly-loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's service will tell you everything.

And for this very purpose I send him to you that you may know how we are faring; and that he may cheer your hearts.

and sent Timothy our brother and God's minister in the service of Christ's Good News, that he might help you spiritually and encourage you in your faith;

That i

I am therefore all the more eager to send him, in the hope that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have the less sorrow.

But now that Timothy has recently come back to us from you, and has brought us the happy tidings of your faith and love, and has told us how you still cherish a constant and affectionate recollection of us, and are longing to see us as we also long to see you--

Unceasing thanks are due from us to God on your behalf, brethren. They are appropriate because your faith is growing greatly, and the love of every one of you for all the others goes on increasing.

because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have towards the Lord Jesus and which you manifest towards all God's people;

For it is an intense joy to me when brethren come and bear witness to your fidelity to the truth--that you live in obedience to the truth.
