Philippians 1:26

1:26 so that what you can be proud of may increase ¹  because of me in Christ Jesus, when I come back to you. ² 

Philippians 2:25

2:25 But for now ³  I have considered it necessary to send Epaphroditus to you. For he is my brother, ⁴  coworker and fellow soldier, and your messenger ⁵  and minister ⁶  to me in my need. ⁷ 

Philippians 2:30

2:30 since it was because of the work of Christ that he almost died. He risked his life so that he could make up for your inability to serve me. ⁸ 

Philippians 4:6

4:6 Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God.

¹ tn Grk “your boasting may overflow in Christ Jesus because of me,” or possibly, “your boasting in me may overflow in Christ Jesus.” BDAG 536 s.v. καύχημα 1 translates the phrase τὸ καύχημα ὑμῶν (to kauchma jJumwn) in Phil 1:26 as “what you can be proud of.”

² tn Grk “through my coming again to you.”

³ tn Grk “But.” The temporal notion (“for now”) is implied in the epistolary aorist (“I have considered”), for Epaphroditus was dispatched with this letter to the Philippians.

⁴ tn Grk “my brother” instead of “For he is my brother.” Verse 25 constitutes one sentence in Greek, with “my brother…” functioning appositionally to “Epaphroditus.”

⁵ tn Grk “apostle.”

⁶ tn The Greek word translated “minister” here is λειτουργός (leitourgo").

⁷ tn Grk “servant of my need.”

⁵ tn Grk “make up for your lack of service to me.”
