Philippians 2:18-26
New American Standard Bible
19But I hope, in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition.
20For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare.
21For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.
22But you know of his proven character, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father.
23Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;
24and I trust in the Lord that I myself will also be coming shortly.
25But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need,
26because he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
King James Version
Chapter 2
18For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. 19But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. 20For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. 21For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. 22But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. 23Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. 24But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly. 25Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. 26For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.Christian Standard Bible
19Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon so that I too may be encouraged by news about you.
20For I have no one else like-minded who will genuinely care about your interests;
21all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
22But you know his proven character, because he has served with me in the gospel ministry like a son with a father.
23Therefore, I hope to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.
24I am confident in the Lord that I myself will also come soon.
New Living Translation
19If the Lord Jesus is willing, I hope to send Timothy to you soon for a visit. Then he can cheer me up by telling me how you are getting along.
20I have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely cares about your welfare.
21All the others care only for themselves and not for what matters to Jesus Christ.
22But you know how Timothy has proved himself. Like a son with his father, he has served with me in preaching the Good News.
23I hope to send him to you just as soon as I find out what is going to happen to me here.
24And I have confidence from the Lord that I myself will come to see you soon.
English Standard Version
19I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you.
20For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare.
21For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
22But you know Timothy’s proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.
23I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me,
24and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.
New International Version
19I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.

21For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
22But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.
23I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.

New King James Version
19But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state.
20For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state.
21For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.
22But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.
23Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me.
24But I trust in the Lord that I myself shall also come shortly.
