Philippians 2:24

Textus Receptus:
πεποιθα δε εν κυριω οτι και αυτος ταχεως ελευσομαι

King James:
But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

Comments:
The whole arrangement of sending Timothy in anticipation of Paul's own visit, which may or may not take place, is very similar to what he expresses to Timothy himself regarding the church at Ephesus, with the particular exception that in that correspondence the letter itself serves as his envoy. 1 Timothy 3:14-15. The point here is not just that Timothy's presence will substitute for Paul's presence, but that the epistle will serve as a guide to them in his absence. The written Word plays a similar role in the lives of Christians who anticipate but cannot predict the return of Christ. The Jews express the same sentiment about the Word in Psalm 119:81.

Expanded Paraphrase:
Beyond this letter and Timothy's visit, however, I am confident that I myself will come to you soon.
