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 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.

22 But ye know the proof of him, how as a son with a father he hath served with me in the Gospel.

23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, as soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

25 Yet I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and companion in labor and fellow soldier, but your messenger and he that ministered to my wants.
