Several men were traveling with him. They were Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea; Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica; Gaius from Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.
Gaius says hello to you. He is my host and also serves as host to the whole church. Erastus, the city treasurer, sends you his greetings, and so does our brother Quartus.
I am sending him because he has been longing to see you, and he was very distressed that you heard he was ill.And he certainly was ill; in fact, he almost died. But God had mercy on him— and also on me, so that I would not have one sorrow after another.
