If I cannot come to you soon Seeing my arc of what I mark off as one large section (1:25-2:30) may make sense of how I see this passage. Paul is contrasting his expectation that he will be delivered and come to them. In the mean time, in contrast to his being with them, he 1) asks them to behave in a manner worthy of the gospel (1:27-2:16); 2) he will rejoice, and calls them to rejoice (2:17-18); 3) he intends to send Timothy; 4) he is sending Epaphroditus.
