¹⁹ But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

² We sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the good news of Christ, to give you strength and comfort in your faith;

¹ Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons of the church:

¹⁷ For this cause I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and true child in the Lord; he will make clear to you my ways in Christ, even as I am teaching everywhere in every church.

¹⁵ But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that.

⁵ Hearing of the love and the faith which you have to the Lord Jesus and to all the saints;

⁶ That the faith which you have in common with them may be working with power, in the knowledge of every good thing in you, for Christ.

⁷ For I had great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been made strong again through you, brother.

¹² And for which I undergo these things: but I have no feeling of shame. For I have knowledge of him in whom I have faith, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have given into his care till that day.

³ It is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, because of the great increase of your faith, and the wealth of your love for one another;

⁶ But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has given us good news of your faith and love, and that you have happy memories of us, desiring greatly to see us, even as we do to see you;

⁷ For this cause, brothers, in all our trouble and grief we were comforted about you because of your faith;

⁸ For it is life to us if you keep your faith in the Lord unchanged.

⁸ And I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may have news of how we are, and so that he may give your hearts comfort;

⁹ And with him I have sent Onesimus, the true and well-loved brother, who is one of you. They will give you word of everything which is taking place here.

²⁸ I have sent him, then, the more gladly, so that when you see him again, you may be happy and I may have the less sorrow.

²³ Him then I am hoping to send as quickly as possible, when I am able to see how things will go for me:

²⁴ But I have faith in the Lord that I myself will come before long.

²⁵ But it seemed to me necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, who has taken part with me in the work and in the fight, and your servant, sent by you for help in my need;

²¹ But so that you may have knowledge of my business, and how I am, Tychicus, the well-loved brother and tested servant in the Lord, will give you news of all things:

²² Whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, so that you may have knowledge of our position, and that he may give comfort to your hearts.

¹³ In whom you, having been given the true word, the good news of your salvation, and through your faith in him, were given the sign of the Holy Spirit of hope,

²¹ Timothy, who is working with me, sends his love to you, so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relations.

¹² And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who comes to be the ruler over the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles put their hope.

²¹ And in his name will the Gentiles put their hope.

⁵ This is what the Lord has said: Cursed is the man who puts his faith in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart is turned away from the Lord.

³ For it gave me great joy when some of the brothers came and gave witness that you had the true faith and were walking in the true way.

⁴ I have no greater joy than to have news that my children are walking in the true way.

²¹ Who through him have faith in God who took him up again from the dead into glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
