Philippians 2:23 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 2:23

Him therefore I hope to send presently
For the reasons now given:

so soon as I shall see how it will go with me;
whether he should be released from his bonds or not; whether he should live or die; whether he should be set free, or be called to suffer martyrdom for the sake of Christ; for he expected, that the matter would be determined in a very short time, when, be it at it would, Timothy would be spared.

Philippians 2:23 In-Context

21 Other people are interested only in their own lives, not in the work of Jesus Christ.
22 You know the kind of person Timothy is. You know he has served with me in telling the Good News, as a son serves his father.
23 I plan to send him to you quickly when I know what will happen to me.
24 I am sure that the Lord will help me to come to you soon.
25 Epaphroditus, my brother in Christ, works and serves with me in the army of Christ. When I needed help, you sent him to me. I think now that I must send him back to you,
