ACC ~ Philippians 2 v30a

HE NEARLY DIED. CHRYSOSTOM: He nearly died, says Paul, not “on my account” but “for the work of Christ.” This makes Epaphroditus all the more worthy of trust. … “He submitted himself as one who looked after me, whatever he had to suffer.” But if he submitted himself to death for the sake of looing after Paul, how much more he would have suffered this for the sake of the proclamation of the gospel!
