Contextual Overview

14Do everything without whining or bickering. 15In this way, you will become strong cowboys who will be admired and imitated. You will be true children of God without fault in front of a crooked world. You will shine bright like a campfire on a bald hill on a moonless night. 16Tie hard and fast to the word of life. Then, when Jesus comes back, I will be able to say I was proud to ride with y'all. The long miles and heartache I have suffered will then be washed away in the cool stream of his love. 17Even if that stream runs red with my blood, poured out like a drink offering in sacrifice to God, I will do so with a smile on my face and peace in my heart. 18You too should be happy with me. 19I'm hoping Jesus will let me send Timothy out to help y'all gather. This'll lift my spirits because I know y'all will be getting a lot done. 20There ain't another cowboy like young Timothy. This man truly knows how to care for others. 21Most people only ride for themselves, but Timothy rides for the Lord. 22He has proven himself over and over. I think of him just like a son and I wouldn't be prouder of him if he was. 23As soon as I figure out what's going to happen to me here, I'll send him your way.

Cross-References

Acts 11:23
When he got there, he beheld quite a sight. He encouraged all the new cowboys to remain true to the brand and ride for the Lord with all their hearts.
Romans 7:2
Another way to say this is if a woman is married, she is married as long as her husband lives. If he dies, she is no longer married.
1 Timothy 5:14
If there is a young widow, I encourage them to find a new husband, but do it the right way. She should have children, take care of their home, and not give in to idle talk about others. These latter things just open the door to the devil to come in.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But I trust in the Lord,.... The Syriac version reads, "in my Lord":

that I also myself shall come shortly: this he adds, partly to let them see, that he still retained a secret hope and persuasion in his own mind of a deliverance, though he could not be certain of it, how things would go with him; and partly, that he might not be thought to put them off with sending Timothy to them; for notwithstanding that, his intention still was, should he be released, to pay them a visit himself. The Alexandrian copy adds, "to you": so the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But I trust in the Lord ... - note, Philippians 1:25.
