18. And in the same way also you have simcha, rejoicing together with me [l:4,18;1:25;2:2,17].
19. I have tikvah b'Adoneinu Yehoshua to send Timotiyos to you soon, that I also may be cheered up in the da'as of the things concerning you.
20. For I have no one likeminded who will emesdik (genuinely) care for your spiritual welfare.
21. All of them are seeking their own interests [2:4], not those of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
22. But of the proven mamashus (real worth) of Timotiyos you have da'as, because as a ben with his abba, Timotiyos served with me in the Besuras HaGeulah.
23. Therefore, I have tikvah to send him, as soon as I see how things will go with me.
