John Gill Commentary Philippians 2:23

"Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me:" — Philippians 2:23 (ASV)

Him therefore I hope to send presently
For the reasons now given:

so soon as I shall see how it will go with me ;
whether he should be released from his bonds or not; whether he should live or die; whether he should be set free, or be called to suffer martyrdom for the sake of Christ; for he expected, that the matter would be determined in a very short time, when, be it at it would, Timothy would be spared.
