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.

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.
