I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need,

然而我认为必须差以巴弗提到你们那里去，他是我的弟兄，与我一同作工一同作战的，也是你们为我的需要差来服事我的。

然而，我认为必须派以帕弗迪托到你们那里去；他是我的弟兄、同工、战友，也是你们的使者，是为我的需要而来的服事者，

然而，我想必須打發以巴弗提到你們那裏去。他是我的兄弟，與我一同做工，一同當兵，是你們所差遣的，也是供給我需用的。

But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co- worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.

But I think it’s necessary to send Epaphroditus back to you. He is my brother in the Lord. He is a worker and a soldier of Christ together with me. He is also your messenger. You sent him to take care of my needs.

Meanwhile, I thought I should send Epaphroditus back to you. He is a true brother, co worker, and fellow soldier. And he was your messenger to help me in my need.

But I considered it necessary to send you Epaphroditus— my brother, coworker, and fellow soldier, as well as your messenger and minister to my need—

But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need,

Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need;

But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow- worker and fellow- soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need;

But I considered it necessary to send you Epaphroditus— my brother, coworker, and fellow soldier, as well as your messenger and minister to my need—

Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

But for now I have considered it necessary to send Epaphroditus to you. For he is my brother, coworker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to me in my need.

But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,

I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.

and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow workerand Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house:

Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, who have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,

Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest is a faithful messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the soul of his masters.

just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf

For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.

As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

and we sent Timothy, our brother and God’s coworker in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith,

my spirit was not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia.

Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God’s gospel to you free of charge?I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you.And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.

And with them we are sending our brother whom we have often tested and found earnest in many matters, but who is now more earnest than ever because of his great confidence in you.As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for your benefit. And as for our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.
