Paul talks about Epaphroditus becoming ill in vv.26 & 27. Many scholars interpret that word in the Greek as he was weak because he was persecuted in Rome because people knew he was with Paul and was a Christian. As a result of this persecution, he almost died (v.29). But even though he knew that he’d be walking into a difficult situation in Rome, he still went and risked “for the work of Christ”.
