King James Version with Apocrypha
"I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful."
— Philippians 2:28, King James Version with Apocrypha
“I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.”
“I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. ”
“I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.”
“Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you can rejoice and I can be free from anxiety.”
“Therefore, I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.”
“I have sent him, then, the more gladly, so that when you see him again, you may be happy and I may have the less sorrow.”
Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
