Philippians 2:27-29

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁷ Certainly, he was very ill, and he almost died. But God was kind to him. And God was kind to me too. If Epaphroditus had died, I would have become even more sad. ²⁸ So I want even more to send him back to you. Then you can be really happy, and I will not feel sad any more.

²⁹ Receive Epaphroditus well when he comes, and be happy. Like you, he belongs to the Lord's people. You should respect people like him and be kind to them.
