21for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,
22and the proof of him ye know, that as a child [serveth] a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news;
23him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me -- immediately;
24and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come.
25And I thought [it] necessary Epaphroditus -- my brother, and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need -- to send unto you,
26seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,
27for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.
