τὴν δὲ δοκιμὴν αὐτοῦ γινώσκετε , ὅτι ὡς πατρὶ τέκνον σὺν ἐμοὶ ἐδούλευσεν εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον . τοῦτον μὲν οὖν ἐλπίζω πέμψαι ὡς ἂν ἀφίδω τὰ περὶ ἐμὲ ἐξαυτῆς · πέποιθα δὲ ἐν κυρίῳ ὅτι καὶ αὐτὸς ταχέως ἐλεύσομαι . Ἀναγκαῖον δὲ ἡγησάμην Ἐπαφρόδιτον τὸν ἀδελφὸν καὶ συνεργὸν καὶ συστρατιώτην μου , ὑμῶν δὲ ἀπόστολον καὶ λειτουργὸν τῆς χρείας μου , πέμψαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς , ἐπειδὴ ἐπιποθῶν ἦν πάντας ὑμᾶς , καὶ ἀδημονῶν διότι ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἠσθένησεν . καὶ γὰρ ἠσθένησεν παραπλήσιον θανάτῳ · ἀλλὰ ὁ θεὸς ἠλέησεν αὐτόν , οὐκ αὐτὸν δὲ μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐμέ , ἵνα μὴ λύπην ἐπὶ λύπην σχῶ . σπουδαιοτέρως οὖν ἔπεμψα αὐτὸν ἵνα ἰδόντες αὐτὸν πάλιν χαρῆτε κἀγὼ ἀλυπότερος ὦ . προσδέχεσθε οὖν αὐτὸν ἐν κυρίῳ μετὰ πάσης χαρᾶς , καὶ τοὺς τοιούτους ἐντίμους ἔχετε , ὅτι διὰ τὸ ἔργον Χριστοῦ μέχρι θανάτου ἤγγισεν , παραβολευσάμενος τῇ ψυχῇ ἵνα ἀναπληρώσῃ τὸ ὑμῶν ὑστέρημα τῆς πρός με λειτουργίας .
