Philippians 2:30

For the work of Christ he went to (the) death, giving his life, that he should fulfill that that failed of you with my service. (For the work of the Messiah he went unto death, giving his life, so that he could do for me, or so that he could fulfill for me, that service which you could not do.)

Wycliffe Modern Spelling

In The King James Version

Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
