Always, in every prayer that I offer for you all--my prayers are full of joy--

And I am confident, as one who trusts in the Lord Jesus, that before long I myself shall follow.

Still I think it necessary to send Epaphroditus to you now, for he is my brother, fellow-worker, and fellow-soldier, and he was also your messenger to help me in my need.

Yes, and I ask you, my true comrade, to help them, remembering that they toiled by my side in spreading the Good News; and so, too, did Clement and my other fellow-workers, whose names are 'in the Book of Life.'
