← Philippians
- A. 24 But I trust IN THE LORD that I also myself shall come shortly.
- B. 25 Yet I supposed it necessary TO SEND to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
- C. 26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that HE HAD BEEN SICK.
- C'. 27 For indeed HE WAS SICK nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
- B'. 28 I SENT HIM therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
- A'. 29 Receive him therefore IN THE LORD with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: 30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
