Filipperne 2,26

FriendshipSickness and healing

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

25 Men jeg fant det nødvendig å sende tilbake til dere Epafroditus, min bror, medarbeider og medsoldat, som også er deres utsending og tjener for mine behov,

fordi han lengter etter dere alle og er urolig fordi dere hørte at han var syk.

27 For han var virkelig syk, og nær ved å dø. Men Gud hadde barmhjertighet med ham, og ikke bare med ham, men også med meg, for å spare meg for sorg på sorg.

28 Derfor er jeg desto mer ivrig etter å sende ham, så når dere ser ham igjen, kan dere glede dere, og jeg kan ha mindre bekymring.

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.
