Philippians 2:25-30

Lexham English Bible LEB

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.

27 For indeed he was sick, coming near to death, but God had mercy on him and not [on] him only, but also [on] me, so that I would not have grief upon grief.

28 Therefore I am sending him with special urgency, in order that [when] you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.

29 Therefore welcome him in the Lord with all joy, and consider such [people] highly honored,

30 because on account of the work of Christ he came near to the point of death, risking his life in order that {he might make up for your inability to serve me}.

New International Version NIV

25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.

26 For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.

27 Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.

28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety.

29 So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,

30 because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me.
