Philippians 2:28-30

International Standard Version

²⁸ Therefore, I am especially eager to send him so that you may have the joy of seeing him again, and so that I may feel relieved. ²⁹ So joyfully welcome him in the Lord and make sure you honor such people highly, ³⁰ because he came close to death for the work of the Messiah^[a] by risking his life to complete what remained unfinished in your service to me.
