Timothy and Epaphroditus Sent

19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to (A)send (B)Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be in good spirits when I learn of your circumstances. 20 For I have no one else (C)of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned about your circumstances. 21 For they all (D)seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. 22 But you know (E)of his proven worth, that (F)he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel (G)like a child serving his father. 23 (H)Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I [a]evaluate my own circumstances, 24 and (I)I am confident in the Lord that I myself also will be coming shortly.
