Paul Commends Timothy
19 If the Lord Jesus is willing, I hope to send Timothy to you soon for a visit. Then he can cheer me up by telling me how you are getting along. 20 I have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely cares about your welfare. 21 All the others care only for themselves and not for what matters to Jesus Christ. 22 But you know how Timothy has proved himself. Like a son with his father, he has served with me in preaching the Good News. 23 I hope to send him to you just as soon as I find out what is going to happen to me here. 24 And I have confidence from the Lord that I myself will come to see you soon.
Paul Commends Epaphroditus
25 Meanwhile, I thought I should send Epaphroditus back to you. He is a true brother, co-worker, and fellow soldier. And he was your messenger to help me in my need. 26 I am sending him because he has been longing to see you, and he was very distressed that you heard he was ill. 27 And he certainly was ill; in fact, he almost died. But God had mercy on him—and also on me, so that I would not have one sorrow after another.
28 So I am all the more anxious to send him back to you, for I know you will be glad to see him, and then I will not be so worried about you. 29 Welcome him in the Lord’s love[a] and with great joy, and give him the honor that people like him deserve. 30 For he risked his life for the work of Christ, and he was at the point of death while doing for me what you couldn’t do from far away.
The Priceless Value of Knowing Christ
3 Whatever happens, my dear brothers and sisters,[b] rejoice in the Lord. I never get tired of telling you these things, and I do it to safeguard your faith.
2 Watch out for those dogs, those people who do evil, those mutilators who say you must be circumcised to be saved. 3 For we who worship by the Spirit of God[c] are the ones who are truly circumcised. We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort,

Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Si Timoteo ug si Epafroditus
19 Nagasalig ako kang Ginoong Jesus nga sa dili madugay mapaanha ko diha kaninyo si Timoteo, aron malipay usab ako kon masuginlan niya ako bahin sa inyong kahimtang. 20 Siya lang ang akong nasayran nga nagahandom alang sa inyong kaayohan sama kanako. 21 Kay ang uban, ang ila lang kaugalingon nga kaayohan ang ilang gihunahuna ug dili ang kabubut-on ni Jesu-Cristo. 22 Apan nasayran ninyo ang maayong pamatasan ni Timoteo. Gipakasama ko siya nga akong anak sa iyang pagtabang kanako sa pagsangyaw sa Maayong Balita. 23 Nagalaom ako nga mapaanha ko dayon siya diha kaninyo kon masayran ko na ang resulta sa akong kaso. 24 Ug nagasalig gayod ako sa Ginoo nga sa dili madugay makaanha usab ako diha.
25 Nahunahuna ko nga kinahanglan pabalikon ko diha sa inyo ang atong igsoon nga si Epafroditus nga inyong gisugo aron sa pagtabang kanako. Kauban ko siya sa pagpangalagad sa Dios ug paglaban sa kamatuoran. 26 Papaulion ko siya diha tungod kay gimingaw na siya kaninyong tanan, ug dili na siya mahimutang dinhi sa kabalaka tungod kay nakabalita man kamo nga nagsakit siya. 27 Tinuod nga nagsakit siya ug hapit gani mamatay. Apan gikaloy-an siya sa Dios, ug dili lang siya kondili ako usab, kay nalikay ako sa dako nga kaguol. 28 Busa gusto ko na gayod nga pabalikon siya diha, aron nga kon makita ninyo siya pag-usab malipay kamo, ug dili na ako mabalaka. 29 Ug dawata ninyo siya sa tumang kalipay isip igsoon diha sa Ginoo. Ang mga tawo nga sama kaniya angay pasidunggan. 30 Kay hapit siya mamatay tungod sa iyang pag-alagad kang Cristo. Nahimutang ang iyang kinabuhi sa kakuyaw aron lamang matabangan niya ako isip inyong representante.
Ang Tinuod nga Pagkamatarong
3 Karon, mga igsoon ko kang Cristo, paglipay kamo diha sa Ginoo! Dili ako pul-an sa paghisgot pag-usab niini kaninyo, kay alang man kini sa inyong kaayohan. 2 Pagbantay kamo sa mga Judio nga mamugos nga magpatuli kamo. Sama sila sa mga iro, mga tawo nga nagabuhat ug daotan. 3 Apan kita ang may tinuod nga ilhanan nga mga sumusunod kita sa Dios, tungod kay nagasimba kita kaniya pinaagi sa Espiritu Santo ug malipayon kita sa atong pagkahiusa kang Cristo Jesus. Wala kita magsalig sa mga tulumanon o sa atong mga binuhatan aron kita maluwas.

Timothy and Epaphroditus
19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy(A) to you soon,(B) that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him,(C) who will show genuine concern for your welfare. 21 For everyone looks out for their own interests,(D) not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father(E) he has served with me in the work of the gospel. 23 I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.(F) 24 And I am confident(G) in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker(H) and fellow soldier,(I) who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.(J) 26 For he longs for all of you(K) and is distressed because you heard he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him,(L) so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety. 29 So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,(M) 30 because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me.(N)
No Confidence in the Flesh
3 Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again,(O) and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Watch out for those dogs,(P) those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. 3 For it is we who are the circumcision,(Q) we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus,(R) and who put no confidence in the flesh—
