NASB
"because he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick."
— Philippians 2:26, NASB
“For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.”
“since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick: ”
“since he longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was sick.”
“Indeed, he greatly missed all of you and was distressed because you heard that he had been ill.”
“For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick.”
“Because his heart was with you all, and he was greatly troubled because you had news that he was ill:”
“For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.”
Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;
and I trust in the Lord that I myself also will be coming shortly.
But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need;
because he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.
Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned about you.
Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold men like him in high regard;
