19 But I_/ trust in the Lord Jesus to_ ‘send ¢Timotheus shortly unto_you, that £ also may_be_of_good_comfort, «zwhen_I_know your =state.

24 But J_‘trust in the Lord that I also myself shall_come shortly.

26 Wor he -4longed_after you all, and +was_full_of_heaviness, because _ that ye_had_heard that he_had_been_sick.
27 For indeed he_was-_sick nigh_unto death: but ~God had_mercy_on him ; and not on_him only, but on_me also, lest I_-should_have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 T_sent him therefore the more_ spcarefully, that, -:when_ye_see him again, ye-*may_rejoice, and that £ may_ be the less_sorrowful.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and ‘hold -such in_ reputation :
