(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)
and find out what pleases the Lord.”

Philippians 2. 25-29
But I think it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. For he longs for all of you, and is distressed because you heard he was ill. Indeed he was ill, and almost died.
But God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but also on me to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety. Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him, because he almost died for the work of the Christ, risking his life to make up for the help you could not give.
"Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him, because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up the help you could not give me"
