Philippians 2:25 In-Context

23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see {my circumstances}.
24 And I am convinced in the Lord that I myself will arrive shortly also.
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.
