The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians was written while Paul was a prisoner in Rome. This letter, Paul’s farewell message, is filled with gratitude and affection for his Philippian friends, the church which was perhaps dearest to him.

Philippians 2

2:28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
