Philippians 2:28 in Context — Philippians 2

26 porque ele tinha muitas saudades de todos vós, e estava muito angustiado por haverdes ouvido de que ele havia ficado doente.

27 E ele ficou mesmo doente, quase a morrer; mas o Deus dele teve misericórdia, não somente dele, mas também de mim, para que eu não tivesse tristeza após tristeza.

28 Por isso eu o enviei mais depressa, a fim de que, vendo-o de novo, alegrei-vos e eu fique menos triste.

29 Recebei-o, pois, no Senhor, com toda alegria; e honrai ao que são como ele;

30 pois, por causa da obra de Cristo, ele chegou perto da morte, arriscando a sua própria vida para suprir em meu benefício a falta do vosso serviço.
