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 Now know ye the proof of him: that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel.

23 Him therefore I hope to send unto you immediately: so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

24 And I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come to you shortly.

25 But I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow labourer and fellow soldier, but your apostle: and he that hath ministered to my wants.

26 For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick.
