In Philippians 2:19–30 Paul presents, almost incidentally, two examples of the self-renouncing attitude of Jesus Christ. Timothy’s unselfish service to Paul and genuine concern for other Christians, and Epaphroditus’s devotion to his mission and great rise to his health and live, display the unselfconscious care for others enjoined at the beginning of this chapter and reinforced by the powerful example of Christ’s self-emptying.
