8 Whom{G3739} I have sent{G3992}{(G5656)} unto{G4314} you{G5209} for{G1519} the same{G846} purpose{G5124}, that{G2443} he might know{G1097}{(G5632)} your{G5216} estate{G4012}, and{G2532} comfort{G3870}{(G5661)} your{G5216} hearts{G2588};

These{G3778} only{G3441} are my fellowworkers{G4904} unto{G1519} the kingdom{G932} of God{G2316}, which{G3748} have been{G1096}{(G5675)} a comfort{G3931} unto me{G3427}.
