22. ‘Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort our hearts.’

6. Epistle to the Philippians. Written from Rome. Epaphroditus scribe, Messenger, and Resident, as above: the Epistle recommending him in the strongest terms to the favour of the persons containing recommendations.

Phil. ii. 25. to 30. 25. Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier but your Messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

26. For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

27. For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also lest I sh d have sorrow upon sorrow.

28. I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful -

29. Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation.

30. Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
