28;
28 Therefore I am all the more
eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may
have less anxiety. (1)
147
26 For
he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. (8)
27 Indeed he was ill,
and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.
369
17 But
even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and
service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. (8)
18 So you too should
be glad and rejoice with me.
Timothy and
Epaphroditus
19 I hope in the Lord
Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive
news about you.
147
8 And
being found in appearance as A Man, He Humbled Himself by Becoming Obedient to Death even Death on a Cross!
(8)
9 Therefore God exalted Him to
the Highest Place and Gave Him the Name that is Above every name,
10 that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
10 that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
147
23 I
hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me. (5)
24 And I am confident
in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
25 But I think it is
necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker and fellow
soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.
147
14 Do
everything without grumbling or arguing,
(5)
15 so that you may
become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and
crooked generation.” Then
you will shine among them like stars in the sky
16 as you hold firmly to the word
of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not
run or labor in vain.
147
5 In
your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: (5)
6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with
God something to be used to His Own Advantage;
7 rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of A Servant, being made in Human Likeness.
7 rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of A Servant, being made in Human Likeness.
147
29 So
then, welcome him in the Lord with Great Joy, and Honor people like him, (2)
30 because
he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the
help you yourselves could not give me.
(3)
138
20 I
have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare. (2)
21 For everyone looks out for
their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father
he has served with me in the work of the gospel.
147
11 and
every tongue acknowledge that
Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the Glory of God the Father. (2)
Do Everything
Without Grumbling
12 Therefore, my dear
friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more
in my absence—continue
to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good
purpose.
147
Imitating Christ’s
Humility
2 Therefore if you have any
encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His Love, if
any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,
2 then
make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in
spirit and of one mind.
(2)
3 Do nothing out of
selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above
yourselves,
4 not looking to your own interests
but each of you to the interests of the others.
