Filipperne 2,22

Serving othersFaithfulness and loyaltyFollowing Jesus

20 For jeg har ingen annen som er av samme sinn, som virkelig vil bry seg om deres ve og vel.

21 For de søker alle sitt eget, ikke det som hører Kristus Jesus til.

Men dere vet om hans prøvede karakter, at han tjente med meg i evangeliets arbeid som en sønn med sin far.

23 Derfor håper jeg å sende ham straks, så snart jeg ser hvordan det går med meg;

24 og jeg er trygg i Herren på at jeg selv også snart vil komme.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
