19 I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly to you, that I also may be of good comfort when I get word concerning you.
20 For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your welfare.
21 For all seek their own, not the things of Christ Jesus.
22 But you know of his proven worth, that as a son with a father, he has served with me in the gospel.
23 Therefore I hope to send him soon after my situation is resolved.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I, myself, shall also come shortly.
25 Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, who is my brother and companion in labor, fellow soldier, your messenger, and he who ministered to my necessity.
