25 I have thought it necessary to send to you ^dEpaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and ^efellow soldier, and your messenger and ^fminister to my need,

29 So ^greceive him in the Lord with all joy, and ^hhonor such men, 30 for he nearly died^{1 i}for the work of Christ, risking his life ^jto complete what was lacking in your service to me.
