But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I may be refreshed when I know your affairs.

Him therefore I hope to send to you as soon as I know how it will be with me;

But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, the brother and my fellow-laborer and fellow-soldier, but your apostle and servant of my need,

I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him again you may rejoice and I be less sorrowful.

for even in Thessalonica and once and again you sent to my need.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me salute you.
