Philippians 2:23 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 2:23

Him therefore I hope to send presently
For the reasons now given:

so soon as I shall see how it will go with me;
whether he should be released from his bonds or not; whether he should live or die; whether he should be set free, or be called to suffer martyrdom for the sake of Christ; for he expected, that the matter would be determined in a very short time, when, be it at it would, Timothy would be spared.

Philippians 2:23 In-Context

21 Everyone else is concerned only with their own affairs, not with the cause of Jesus Christ.

22 And you yourselves know how he has proved his worth, how he and I, like a son and his father, have worked together for the sake of the gospel.

23 So I hope to send him to you as soon as I know how things are going to turn out for me.

24 And I trust in the Lord that I myself will be able to come to you soon.

25 I have thought it necessary to send to you our brother Epaphroditus, who has worked and fought by my side and who has served as your messenger in helping me.
