Philippians 2:24 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 2:24

But I trust in the Lord
The Syriac version reads, "in my Lord":

that I also myself shall come shortly:
this he adds, partly to let them see, that he still retained a secret hope and persuasion in his own mind of a deliverance, though he could not be certain of it, how things would go with him; and partly, that he might not be thought to put them off with sending Timothy to them; for notwithstanding that, his intention still was, should he be released, to pay them a visit himself. The Alexandrian copy adds, "to you": so the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions.

22 But you know his proven character, that like a child with a father he served with me for the gospel.

23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see {my circumstances}.

24 And I am convinced in the Lord that I myself will arrive shortly also.

25 But I considered [it] necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, but your messenger and servant of my need,

26 because he was longing for all of you and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
