We don't answer the questions of lurkers (OK, just kidding. Those are some of
the very ones we wish to answer).
One might ask "Likeminded to whom? 'Paul' or 'Timothy'?" I am inclined to
think that he is saying that no one is comparable to "Timothy" since that is the
nearest potential referent. In that case, your problem doesn't exist.

Php 2:19 ᾿Ελπίζω δὲ ἐν Κυρίῳ ᾿Ιησοῦ Τιμόθεον ταχέως πέμψαι ὑμῖν, ἵνα
κἀγὼ εὐψυχῶ γνοὺς τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν·
Php 2:20 οὐδένα γὰρ ἔχω ἰσόψυχον, ὅστις γνησίως τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν
μεριμνήσει·
Php 2:21 οἱ πάντες γὰρ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ζητοῦσιν, οὐ τὰ Χριστοῦ ᾿Ιησοῦ·
Hi,
Confessedly I am a lurker – mainly because I do not consider myself technically
proficient enough
to participate. I hope that will not prevent an answer.
My question is regarding Philippians 2:19-21
Paul States in 2:20 that he has no one like minded. Can we determine from the
Greek here if this statement includes
Timothy? MERIMNAO being in the future tense seems to indicate that Timothy is
like minded but OUDEIS would
seem to exclude him from being like minded as well.
Is he sending Timothy because he has no one like minded OR is he sending Timothy
because he is the only
one like minded?
Thank you,
