Philippians 2:27 DBY

²⁵  but I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier, but your messenger and minister to my need,

²⁶  since he had a longing desire after you all, and was distressed because ye had heard that he was sick;

²⁷  for he was also sick close to death, but God had mercy on him, and not indeed on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

²⁸  I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him ye might again rejoice, and that *I* might be the less sorrowful.

²⁹  Receive him therefore in [the] Lord with all joy, and hold such in honour;
