Philippians 2:24-26

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁴ But [really] I am confident and fully trusting in the Lord that shortly I myself shall come to you also.

²⁵ However, I thought it necessary to send Epaphroditus [back] to you. [He has been] my brother and companion in labor and my fellow soldier, as well as [having come as] your special messenger (apostle) and minister to my need.

²⁶ For he has been [homesick] longing for you all and has been distressed because you had heard that he was ill.
