Read in context

Philippians 2:27–30 · Berean Standard Bible

27 He was sick indeed, nearly unto death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.

28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.

29 Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him,

30 because he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me.
