19. But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send TIMOTHY to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

20. For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

21. For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

22. But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

23. Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
