Philippians 2:25 – 30

²⁵But 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, ²⁶because he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.  ²⁷For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.  ²⁸Therefore 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.  ²⁹Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold people like him in high regard, ³⁰because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to compensate for your absence in your service to me.
