Philippians 4:10–19

¹⁰And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were caring, and lacked opportunity; ¹¹not that in respect of want I say it, for I did learn in the things in which I am—to be content; ¹²I have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound; in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want. ¹³For all things I have strength, in Christ’s strengthening me; ¹⁴but ye did well, having communicated with my tribulation; ¹⁵and ye have known, even ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly did communicate with me in regard to giving and receiving except ye only; ¹⁶because also in Thessalonica, both once and again to my need ye sent; ¹⁷not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account; ¹⁸and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you—an odour of a sweet smell—a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God: ¹⁹and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
