Philippians 2:26-28

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

²⁶ because he was yearning-for you all, and was being distressed because you heard that he was sick. ²⁷ For indeed he was sick nearly to death. But God had-mercy-on him— and not him only, but also me, in order that I should not have grief upon grief. ²⁸ Therefore I sent him more-eagerly, in order that having seen him again you may rejoice, and I may be less-grieved.
