But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 For this reason, I am all the more eager to send him so that when you see him again, you may rejoice and I may be less anxious. 29 So welcome him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such people, 30 because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for what was lacking in your service to me.
