Php PhilippiansFilippenzen, chapterhoofdstuk Epistle to the PhilippiansDe brief aan de Filippenzen, chapterhoofdstuk 2

Since Epaphroditus longs to see you and is distressed, I am sending him back to you. So welcome him very joyfully. Since he nearly died while serving me on your behalf, honor him and all people like him.

Philippians 2:25-30

Welcome him very joyfully just like believers in our Lord Jesus should welcome one another. While he was working for Christ, he was helping me in place of you because you were far away. He knew that he might die as a result of helping me, and truly he nearly did die. So honor him, and honor all those who are like him.
