²¹ Timothy,^(A) my co-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius,^(B) Jason^(C) and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.^(D)

² We sent Timothy,^(A) who is our brother and co-worker^(B) in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ,^(C) to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,

²⁰ I have no one else like him,^(A) who will show genuine concern for your welfare.

²² But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father^(A) he has served with me in the work of the gospel.
