Philippians 2:25-30

25I have thought it necessary to send to you eEpaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and ffellow soldier, and your messenger and gminister to my need, 26for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill. 27Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious. 29So hreceive him in the Lord with all joy, and ihonor such men, 30for he nearly died jfor the work of Christ, risking his life kto complete what was lacking in your service to me.
