Philippians 4:10-20 - Support For Paul's Ministry

¹⁰ Now I rejoice in the Lord greatly, because once again you have shown your concern for me. Of course, you were concerned for me but you did not have an opportunity to show it. ¹¹ I am not saying this because I am in any need, for I have learned to be content in whatever situation I am in. ¹² I know how to be humble, and I know how to prosper. In each and every situation I have learned the secret of being full and of going hungry, of having too much and of having too little. ¹³ I can do all things through him who strengthens me. ¹⁴ Nevertheless, it was kind of you to share my troubles.

¹⁵ You Philippians also know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church participated with me in the matter of giving and receiving except for you. ¹⁶ Even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs not once, but twice. ¹⁷ It is not that I am looking for a gift. No, I want to see that you receive the fruit that increases to your benefit. ¹⁸ I have been paid in full and have more than enough. I am fully supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus what you sent a fragrant aroma, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. ¹⁹ And my God will fully supply your every need according to his glorious riches in the Messiah Jesus. ²⁰ Glory belongs to our God and Father forever and ever! Amen.
