19 ^hI hope in the Lord Jesus ⁱto send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. 20 For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know Timothy’s¹ proven worth, how as a ^json² with a father ^khe has served with me in the gospel. 23 I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me, 24 and ^lI trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.
