Philippians 4:10–19

Appreciation of Support

¹⁰I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that once again ^ayou renewed your care for me. ^bYou were, in fact, concerned about me but lacked the opportunity to show it. ¹¹I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. ¹²I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. ^cIn any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. ¹³I am able to do all things through Him ^dwho strengthens me. ^e14Still, you did well by sharing with me in my hardship.

¹⁵And you Philippians ^fknow that in the early days of the gospel, ^gwhen I left Macedonia, ^hno church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone. ¹⁶For even in Thessalonica ⁱyou sent gifts for my need ^jseveral times. ¹⁷Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit ^klthat is increasing to your account. ¹⁸But I have received everything in full, ^mand I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus ⁿwhat you provided—a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing ^oto God. ¹⁹And my God ^pwill supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
