| Holman Christian Standard (CSB) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 19 Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon so that I also may be encouraged when I hear news about you. | 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 For I have no one else like-minded who will genuinely care about your interests; | 20 I have no one else like him, who takes a genuine interest in your welfare. |
| 21 all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. | 21 For everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. |
| 22 But you know his proven character, because he has served with me in the gospel ministry like a son with a father. | 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. |
| 23 Therefore, I hope to send him as soon as I see how things go with me. | 23 I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me. |
| 24 And I am convinced in the Lord that I myself will also come quickly. | 24 And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon. |
