Philippians 2:27 in Context — Philippians 2
25 J’ai estimé nécessaire de vous envoyer mon frère Épaphrodite, mon compagnon d’œuvre et de combat, par qui vous m’avez fait parvenir de quoi pourvoir à mes besoins.
26 Car il désirait vous voir tous, et il était fort en peine de ce que vous aviez appris sa maladie.
27 Il a été malade, en effet, et tout près de la mort; mais Dieu a eu pitié de lui, et non seulement de lui, mais aussi de moi, afin que je n’eusse pas tristesse sur tristesse.
28 Je l’ai donc envoyé avec d’autant plus d’empressement, afin que vous vous réjouissiez de le revoir, et que je sois moi-même moins triste.
29 Recevez-le donc dans le Seigneur avec une joie entière, et honorez de tels hommes.
