New International Version NIV
19 Ich hoffe aber in dem HERRN Jesus, daß ich Timotheus bald werde zu euch senden, daß ich auch erquickt werde, wenn ich erfahre, wie es um euch steht.
19
I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.
20 Denn ich habe keinen, der so gar meines Sinnes sei, der so herzlich für euch sorgt.
20
I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare.
21 Denn sie suchen alle das ihre, nicht, das Christi Jesu ist.
21
For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
22 Ihr aber wisset, daß er rechtschaffen ist; denn wie ein Kind dem Vater hat er mir gedient am Evangelium.
22
But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.
