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

¹⁰ But I rejoiced in Lord greatly that now at last ye have revived thinking about me, in which also ye were thinking, but ye lacked opportunity. ¹¹ Not that I speak regarding need, for I have learned in what things I am to be content. ¹² I know both how to be abased and how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be lacking. ¹³ I can do all things in the Christ who strengthens me. ¹⁴ Nevertheless ye did well having shared with my affliction.

¹⁵ And ye Philippians also have seen that, in the beginning of the good-news when I departed from Macedonia, not one congregation shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except ye only, ¹⁶ because also in Thessalonica ye sent both once and again to my need. ¹⁷ Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. ¹⁸ But I receive all things, and I abound. I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you, an aroma of fragrance, an acceptable sacrifice well-pleasing to God. ¹⁹ And my God will fill your every need according to his wealth in glory in Christ Jesus. ²⁰ Now to our God and Father is the glory into the ages of the ages. Truly.
