“Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.”
King James Version (KJV)
2:30 To supply your deficiency of service - To do what you could not do in person.
Php 2:30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death. Because it was his work for Christ, his refusal to spare himself, his supreme anxiety, to supply your lack of service toward me. To supply by his own service the absence of the church, which brought on his sickness.
