Philippians 2:24

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

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

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.

26 For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.

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.
