I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20. I have no one else like him, who takes a genuine interest in your welfare.

I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me. 24. And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon. Why was Paul sending Timothy? It does look as if Paul was more concerned about the situation in. But Timothy wasn’t to start out until I see how things go with me . Again, this doesn’t mean tha...
