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 Most people around here are looking out for themselves, with little concern for the things of Jesus.

22 But you know yourselves that Timothy's the real thing. He's been a devoted son to me as together we've delivered the Message.

23 As soon as I see how things are going to fall out for me here, I plan to send him off.

24 And then I'm hoping and praying to be right on his heels.

25 But for right now, I'm dispatching Epaphroditus, my good friend and companion in my work. You sent him to help me out; now I'm sending him to help you out.
