Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:19–30: Paul discussed sending Timothy and Epaphroditus to the Philippians

Paul wrote that, as soon as he knew what would happen to him, he would send Timothy to the Philippians to tell them his news and to bring back news from them. But first Paul would send Epaphroditus. The Philippians should welcome him back and honor him.

Paragraph 2:19–24

Paul chose to send Timothy to the church at Philippi because he was the only one willing to go who truly loved the Philippian believers. But Paul wanted to wait until he found out what would happen to himself, so Timothy could bring this news to the Philippian church. Another reason Paul wanted Timothy to go to Philippi was so that Timothy could bring back news from the Philippian believers. And Paul expected that the news would be good.

2:19a

Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon,

¶ If the Lord Jesus wills/permits, I hope to send Timothy to visit you soon,
¶ I expect to send Timothy to you soon, if that is what the Lord Jesus wants to happen,

Now: The common Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as Now is a connecting word that is often translated as “but". But there is not a contrast between this section and the previous one, such as “but” would imply in English. It is also not a time word, as “now” could imply in English. Paul used this conjunction here to introduce parenthetical information. Indicate this parenthetical comment in a natural way in your language. In some languages, it may be natural to not translate this word. Some English versions also do not translate this word.

I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon: Paul was planning to send Timothy to the Philippians not long after he wrote this letter (see 2:23). He expected that the Lord Jesus wanted this to happen.

hope: The word hope in English usually means that a person wants something to happen but he is not sure it will happen. In the New Testament the Greek word that the BSB translates as hope usually means that a person is confident that something will happen. In this verse Paul probably implied that these were his plans but he knew that all his plans depended on Jesus and what he wanted.

in the Lord Jesus: In this context this phrase probably means that Paul knew that the Lord was the one who ultimately decided whether his hopes and plans would be fulfilled. It means “if the Lord Jesus wills it” or “if this is what the Lord Jesus wants to happen” (see GNT, CEV, NLT, GW).

2:19b

that I also may be cheered when I learn how you are doing.

so that I may also be made happy when I hear good news about you.
in order that he may make me happy by the news he brings back about you, just as the news he brings about me will make you happy.
so that he will encourage you and he will also encourage me when he comes back and tells me how well you are doing.

that: This indicates purpose: “in order that.” Paul’s purpose in sending Timothy would be to cheer both himself and the Philippians.

also: Most commentators think that the word also means that Paul thought both he and the Philippians would be cheered. Paul was probably thinking that Timothy would make a short visit to Philippi and that he would encourage the Philippians with news from Paul. Then Timothy would return to Paul with news of the Philippians which would cheer Paul too. To make this clear, in your translation you may need to supply some of the implied information suggested in the Display.

cheered: To “cheer” someone means to make them happy, to encourage them. Some translators express this with a negative expression such as:

it will help me not to worry about you
