Philippians 2:25-27

²⁵ But 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 ; ²⁶ because he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick . ²⁷ For indeed he was sick to the point of death , but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, so e that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow .
