Philippians 2:28-30

Young's Literal Translation

²⁸ The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;

²⁹ receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold such in honour,

³⁰ because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.
