ISB ~ Philippians 2 v25

Epaphroditus:The messenger who carried the Philippians’ financial gift to Paul in prison (4:18). He is now sent back to Philippi to update the congregation on the apostle’s situation and deliver this epistle. He endured a near-fatal sickness while visiting Paul in Rome (2:27).

messenger:The Greek reads “apostle”. Its meaning here is broader than usual (2 Cor 8:23).
