Philippians 2:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

³⁰ Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death: delivering his life, that he might fulfill that which on your part was wanting towards my service.
