"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."
— Philippians 2:28, World English Bible
“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. ”
“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.”
“I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.”
But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need;
since he longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was sick.
For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
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.
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor,
because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
