17 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and the service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.
18 The same way, you also—rejoice and share your joy with me!
19 But I hope in the Lord Yeshua to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too might be encouraged when I know the news about you.
20 I have no one else like him who will genuinely care about you—
21 for all seek after their own interests, not those of Messiah Yeshua.
22 But you know Timothy’s proven character, that he served with me in spreading the Good News like a son with his father.
23 Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me.
