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

¹⁰ I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length your care for me has revived again; in this, indeed, you had me in mind, but you lacked opportunity. ¹¹ I do not speak in respect to want: for I have learned, in whatever condition I am, to be content. ¹² I know what it is to be in want, and what it is to have abundance. Everywhere and in all things, I have been fully instructed in being full and in being hungry, in having abundance and in being in want. ¹³ I am able to do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ¹⁴ Yet you have done well in contributing to the relief of my affliction.

¹⁵ Now you Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church contributed to me so that I kept an account of giving and receiving, but you only. ¹⁶ For even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent once and again to aid me in my need. ¹⁷ Not that I seek a gift; but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. ¹⁸ But I have all, and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus your gifts, a sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. ¹⁹ But my God will supply all your need, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. ²⁰ Now to God, even our Father, be glory from age to age. Amen.
