Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your circumstances.

Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my needs;

Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all things about me.

I am sending him to you for this very thing, that he may know your circumstances, and he may encourage your hearts,

and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, in order to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith,

comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.
