But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition.

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

But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need;

Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned about you.

for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.

But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.
