Philippians 4:10–19

¹⁰But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now however at length ye have revived your thinking of me, though surely ye did also think of me, but lacked opportunity. ¹¹Not that I speak as regards privation, for as to me I have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself. ¹²I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation. ¹³I have strength for all things in him that gives me power. ¹⁴But ye have done well in taking part in my affliction. ¹⁵And know also ye, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I came out of Macedonia, no assembly communicated anything to me in the way of giving and receiving save ye alone; ¹⁶for also in Thessalonica once and even twice ye sent to me for my need. ¹⁷Not that I seek gift, but I seek fruit abounding to your account. ¹⁸But I have all things in full supply and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things sent from you, an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to God. ¹⁹But my God shall abundantly supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
