Philippians 2:24 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 2:24

But I trust in the Lord
The Syriac version reads, "in my Lord":

that I also myself shall come shortly:
this he adds, partly to let them see, that he still retained a secret hope and persuasion in his own mind of a deliverance, though he could not be certain of it, how things would go with him; and partly, that he might not be thought to put them off with sending Timothy to them; for notwithstanding that, his intention still was, should he be released, to pay them a visit himself. The Alexandrian copy adds, "to you": so the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions.

Philippians 2:24 In-Context

22 But you know his character, that like a child with his father he slaved with me to advance the Good News.

23 So I hope to send him just as soon as I see how things will go with me,

24 and I am confident in the Lord that before long I myself will come too.

25 Also I considered it necessary to send you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, the emissary whom you sent to take care of my needs;

26 since he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard he was ill.
