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 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,

26 because he wants very much to see all of you. He is worried because you heard that he was sick.
