Philippians 2:26-27

2:26 Indeed, he greatly missed all of you and was distressed because you heard that he had been ill. 2:27 In fact he became so ill that he nearly died. ¹  But God showed mercy to him – and not to him only, but also to me – so that I would not have grief on top of grief.

[2:27]  ¹ tn Grk “For he became ill to the point of death.”
