19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I also may be encouraged when I* know ⌊your circumstances⌋j. 20 For I have no one like-minded who will sincerely be concerned about ⌊your circumstances⌋k. 21 For they all seek ⌊their own interests⌋l, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know his proven character, that like a child with a father he served with me for the gospel. 23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see ⌊my circumstances⌋m. 24 And I am convinced in the Lord that I myself will arrive shortly also.
