Philippians 2:27-29

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁷ Indeed, he was so sick that he almost died. But God had mercy not only on him but also on me and kept me from having one sorrow on top of another. ²⁸ So I’m especially eager to send him to you. In this way you will have the joy of seeing him again and I will feel relieved. ²⁹ Give him a joyful Christian welcome. Make sure you honor people like Epaphroditus highly.
