Philippians 2:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Epaphroditus. 25 With regard to Epaphroditus,[a] my brother and co-worker and fellow soldier, your messenger and minister in my need, I consider it necessary to send him to you.(A) 26 For he has been longing for all of you and was distressed because you heard that he was ill. 27 He was indeed ill, close to death; but God had mercy on him, not just on him but also on me, so that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
