And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon.

So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him

and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.

So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men

And I have confidence from the Lord that I myself will come to see you soon.

Welcome him in the Lord’s love and with great joy, and give him the honor that people like him deserve.

I am confident in the Lord that I myself will also come soon.

Therefore, welcome him in the Lord with great joy and hold people like him in honor

But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation

But I trust in the Lord that I myself shall also come shortly.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem

I plan (according to Jesus’ plan) to send Timothy to you very soon so he can bring back all the news of you he can gather. Oh, how that will do my heart good! I have no one quite like Timothy. He is loyal, and genuinely concerned for you. Most people around here are looking out for themselves, with little concern for the things of Jesus. But you know yourselves that Timothy’s the real thing. He’s been a devoted son to me as together we’ve delivered the Message. As soon as I see how things are going to fall out for me here, I plan to send him off. And then I’m hoping and praying to be right on his heels.

So you can see why I’m so delighted to send him on to you. When you see him again, strong and strapping, how you’ll rejoice and how relieved I’ll be. Give him a grand welcome, a joyful embrace! People like him deserve the best you can give. Remember the ministry to me that you started but weren’t able to complete? Well, in the process of finishing up that work, he put his life on the line and nearly died doing it.

and I trust in the Lord that I myself will also be coming shortly.

Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold people like him in high regard

and I trust [confidently] in the Lord that soon I also will be coming to you.

Welcome him home in the Lord with great joy, and appreciate and honor men like him

though I am confident in the Lord that I too will be coming to see you soon.

So welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him
