YLT

NIV

25 And I thought [it] necessary Epaphroditus -- my brother, and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need -- to send unto you,
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 seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,
26 For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.
27 for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.
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 The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;
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 receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold such in honour,
29 So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,
30 because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.
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.
