Timothy Commended

19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send (A)Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your [a]state. 20 For I have no one (B)like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state. 21 For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus. 22 But you know his proven character, (C)that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel. 23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me. 24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself shall also come shortly.
