Philippians 2:28 in Context — Philippians 2

26 Porque tenía gran deseo de ver á todos vosotros, y gravemente se angustió porque habíais oído que había enfermado.

27 Pues en verdad estuvo enfermo á la muerte: mas Dios tuvo misericordia de él; y no solamente de él, sino aun de mí, para que yo no tuviese tristeza sobre tristeza.

28 Así que le envío más presto, para que viéndole os volváis á gozar, y yo esté con menos tristeza.

29 Recibidle pues en el Señor con todo gozo; y tened en estima á los tales:

30 Porque por la obra de Cristo estuvo cercano á la muerte, poniendo su vida para suplir vuestra falta en mi servicio.
