Philippians 2:25-27

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁵ But I considered it necessary to send you Epaphroditus^(A)—my brother, coworker, and fellow soldier, as well as your messenger and minister to my need^(B)— ²⁶ since he has been longing for all of you and was distressed because you heard that he was sick. ²⁷ Indeed, he was so sick that he nearly died. However, God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, so that I would not have one grief on top of another.
