Because his heart was with you all, and he was greatly troubled because you had news that he was ill:

For in fact he was ill almost to death: but God had mercy on him; and not only on him but on me, so that I might not have grief on grief.

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.

Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, putting his life in danger to make your care for me complete.
