Philippians 2:27-29

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁷ And no doubt he was sick, very near to death. But God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, so that I should not have sorrow upon sorrow.

²⁸ Therefore, I sent him all the more speedily, so that when you would see him again you might rejoice and I might be the less sorrowful.

²⁹ Therefore, receive him in the Lord with all joy. And value such men highly.
