Philippians 2:19-24

The Mind of Christ and the Humility of Gospel Witness

From shared encouragement in Christ, to humble unity, to the mind of Christ in his humiliation and exaltation, to obedient shining witness, to embodied examples of sacrificial gospel service.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

19 Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I learn how you are doing.

20 I have nobody else like him who will genuinely care for your needs.

21 For all the others look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

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.

24 And I trust in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
