But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me:

But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need;

I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

for even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my need.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren that are with me salute you.
