Philippians 2:28

Therefore, I am all the more eager to send him [back to Philippi], so that you may have the joy of seeing him again and I myself may be relieved.
[Epaphras had brought a gift to Paul in Rome from the church in Philippi. He probably had traveling companions, partly to protect the money and partly so that there would be witnesses that everything had gone according to plan. During the long journey or upon arrival in Rome, Epaphroditus had become seriously ill and was unable to help Paul as intended. In addition, Paul had heard that two women, Evodia and Syntyche, in the church in Philippi were not getting along, see Phil. 4:2. If Epaphroditus had died, it would have been grief upon grief for Paul, but God healed Epaphroditus. Paul sent Epaphroditus home and sent this letter with him. The distance between Rome and Philippi is 1,250 kilometers. The journey took two months to walk along the Roman highways Via Appia and Via Egnatia. Considering that messengers reached both Philippi and Rome with news of Paul's imprisonment and Epaphroditus' health, see verse 26, this letter was probably written at the end of Paul's two-year imprisonment in Rome.]
