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 Everybody concerns himself about his own interests, not about those of Jesus Christ.

22 But you know Timothy's approved worth--how, like a child working with his father, he has served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

23 So it is he that I hope to send as soon as ever I see how things go with me;

24 but trusting, as I do, in the Lord, I believe that I shall myself also come to you before long.

25 Yet I deem it important to send Epaphroditus to you now--he is my brother and comrade both in labour and in arms, and is your messenger who has ministered to my needs.
