Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, - unto all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministers: -

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I may also be encouraged by learning news about you.

But you know of Timothy’s tested worth and his proven character, that he has served with me to advance the gospel like a son serving with his father.

It is Timothy, then, whom I hope to send, as soon as ever I can foresee how it will go with me.
