Philippians 2:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ You believe in Christ, and you are his servants. That is like you are offering yourselves as a sacrifice to God. Perhaps I will soon have to die. Then my blood would be like drink that I am pouring on your sacrifice, to please God. So, if I have to die now, I will be happy. And we should all be happy together. ¹⁸ Yes, it is right that you should be happy, and I will also be happy with you.

Timothy and Epaphroditus

¹⁹ I want to send Timothy to come to you soon. I hope that the Lord Jesus will let me do that. Then, when Timothy returns to me, he can tell me news about you. And that will make me happy.
