¹⁰But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last you have renewed your concern for me^c, for whom also you were thinking, but you had no opportunity to express it. ¹¹Not that I speak from need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. ¹²I know how both to make do with little^d and I know how to have an abundance^e. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to have an abundance^f and to go without. ¹³I am able to do all things by the one who strengthens me. ¹⁴Nevertheless you have done well by sharing^* with me in my affliction. ¹⁵Now you also know, Philippians, that at the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone, ¹⁶because even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion^g you sent for my need. ¹⁷Not that I seek the gift, but I seek for the profit that increases to your account. ¹⁸But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am well supplied^h because^* I received from Epaphroditus what you had sentⁱ, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. ¹⁹And my God will fulfill your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
