God’s Provisions

10But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last ayou have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity.

11Not that I speak 1from want, for I have learned to be 2acontent in whatever circumstances I am.

12I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going ahungry, both of having abundance and bsuffering need.

13I can do all things 1through Him who astrengthens me.

14Nevertheless, you have done well to ashare with me in my affliction.

15You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the 1afirst preaching of the gospel, after I left bMacedonia, no church cshared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone;

16for even in aThessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.

17aNot that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the 1profit which increases to your account.

18But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am 1amply supplied, having received from aEpaphroditus 2what you have sent, 3ba fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

19And amy God will supply 1all your needs according to His briches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Read in Logos
Philippians 4:11: Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
