Philippians 2:27-29

New Century Version

²⁷ Yes, he was sick, and nearly died, but God had mercy on him and me too so that I would not have more sadness. ²⁸ I want very much to send him to you so that when you see him you can be happy, and I can stop worrying about you. ²⁹ Welcome him in the Lord with much joy. Give honor to people like him,
