Or am sending

10 fWhen Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for ghe is doing hthe work of the Lord, as I am. 11So ilet no one despise him. jHelp him on his way kin peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.

Timothy and Epaphroditus

19I hope in the Lord Jesus lto send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. 20For I have no one mlike him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21For they all nseek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22But you know Timothy’s

with a father she has served with me in the gospel.
23I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me,

1 Thessalonians 3:1-6

1Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we were willing tto be left behind at Athens alone, 2and we usent Timothy, vour brother and God’s coworker
Some manuscripts servant
in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith,
3that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that xwe are destined for this. 4For when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, yjust as it has come to pass, and just as you know. 5For this reason, zwhen I could bear it no longer, aaI sent to learn about your faith, abfor fear that somehow acthe tempter had tempted you and adour labor would be in vain.
