But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I also may be encouraged [when I] know {your circumstances}.

Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see {my circumstances}.

But I considered [it] necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, but your messenger and servant of my need,

because even in Thessalonica {on more than one occasion} you sent for my need.

But I have received everything [in full] and have an abundance; {I am well supplied} [because] I received from Epaphroditus {what you had sent}, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me greet you.
