The writer’s sending of Epaphroditus
글쓴이가 에바브로디도를 보낸 일
Philippians 2:25–30: The writer (“I”) says, “But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need, since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick. For indeed he was sick nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow. I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor, because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.” At 2:25 the Korean Revised Version reads 너희 사자, with 사자, a messenger, where WEB reads “your apostle”.
