Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon so that I also may be encouraged when I hear news about you.

Therefore, I hope to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.

But I considered it necessary to send you Epaphroditus—my brother, coworker, and fellow soldier, as well as your messenger and minister to my need—

For this reason, I am very eager to send him so that you may rejoice when you see him again and I may be less anxious.

For even in Thessalonica you sent gifts for my need several times.

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. Those brothers who are with me greet you.
