But if to live in the flesh, if this is to me the fruit of my labor, then what I should choose, I cannot say;

and in what appertained to him appearing as a man, he humbled himself, and was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

because he was near to death on account of the work, hazarding his life to supply what was wanting on your part in the ministration to me.

But I have all, and abound; I am full, having received from Epaphroditus what was sent from you, a sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
