Philippians 2:28-30

I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. {carefully: or, with more anxious care} Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: {hold...: or, honour such} Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
