Philippians 2:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ For indeed he was sick, nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him; and not only on him, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

²⁸ Therefore I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.

²⁹ Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord; and treat with honour such as he is.
