“Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:”
King James Version (KJV)
2:27 God had compassion on him - Restoring him to health.
2:28 That I may be the less sorrowful - When I know you are rejoicing.
2:30 To supply your deficiency of service - To do what you could not do in person.
Php 2:29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness. Give him a glad welcome. And hold such in reputation. Hold such as he in high reputation.
