Philippians 2:23

21 For all the others look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

22 But you know Timothy’s proven worth, that as a child with his father he has served with me to advance the gospel.

So I hope to send him as soon as I see what happens with me.

24 And I trust in the Lord that I myself will come soon.

25 But I thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my needs.
