NASB
"because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me."
— Philippians 2:30, NASB
“Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me. ”
“because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me. ”
“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.”
“since it was because of the work of Christ that he almost died. He risked his life so that he could make up for your inability to serve me.”
“Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death: delivering his life, that he might fulfil that which on your part was wanting towards my service. ”
“Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, putting his life in danger to make your care for me complete.”
“Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me. ”
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;
because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.
