Philippians 2:28 in context

  1. 26since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick:

  3. 28I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
  4. 29Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:
  5. 30because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
