22 But you know Timothy’s¹ proven worth, how as a ^json² with a father ^khe has served with me in the gospel.

25 I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and ^mfellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need,

30 for he ^pnearly died¹ for the work of Christ, risking his life ^qto complete what was lacking in your service to me.
