after his recovery, without delay, denying myself the comfort of his seciety, I have despatched him away to you.
to the end that he whom you looked upon as dead might seasonably appear among you in person, and cheer you up in your troubles for him and me.
and that I, who, by reason of your kindness to me, have occasioned his absence from you, might upon his safe return to you have somewhat to alleviate my grief, 2Co 6:10.
