Philippians 2:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶ I am sending him because he ·wants very much to see [greatly misses; ^Llongs for] all of you. He is ·worried [distressed] because you heard that he was sick. ²⁷ Yes, he was sick, and nearly died, but God had mercy on him and me too so that I would not have ·more sadness [^Lsorrow upon sorrow]. ²⁸ I ·want very much [am very eager] to send him to you so that when you see him you can ·be happy [rejoice], and I can stop worrying about you.
