Philippians 2:25-27

English Standard Version

²⁵ I have thought it necessary to send to you ^(A)Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and ^(B)fellow soldier, and your messenger and ^(C)minister to my need, ²⁶ for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill. ²⁷ Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
