‏ Philippians 2:22

The proof ( την δοκιμην ). "The test" as of metals (2Co 2:9; 9:13). Three times they had seen Timothy (Ac 16:13; 19:22; 20:3f.).

With me ( συν εμο ). Paul's delicacy of feeling made him use συν rather than εμο alone. Timothy did not serve Paul.

In furtherance of ( εις ). See Php 1:5 for this use of εις.
