Philippians 2:28-30

21st Century King James Version

²⁸ I sent him therefore the more carefully, that when ye see him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful.

²⁹ Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such in high honor,

³⁰ because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not having regard for his own life, to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.
