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

¹⁰ I was very glad, as a Christian, to have your interest in me revive again after so long; for you have always been interested, but you have had no opportunity to show it. ¹¹ Not that I have anything to complain of, for I have learned how to be contented with the condition I am in. ¹² I know how to live humbly and I know how to enjoy plenty. I have learned the secret, in any and all conditions, of being well-fed and of going hungry, of having plenty and of going without. ¹³ I can do anything through him who gives me strength. ¹⁴ But it was very kind of you to share my difficulties.

¹⁵ And you at Philippi know as well as I do, that in the early days of the good news, after I left Macedonia, no church but yours went into partnership and opened an account with me. ¹⁶ Even when I was at Thessalonica you sent money more than once for my needs. ¹⁷ Not that I want your gifts, but I want you to have the profits that will accumulate to your credit. ¹⁸ You have paid me in full, and more too. I am fully supplied with what I have received from you through Epaphroditus. It is like fragrant incense, just such a sacrifice as God welcomes and approves. ¹⁹ My God will gloriously supply all your needs with his wealth, through your union with Christ Jesus. ²⁰ Glory to our God and Father forever and ever. Amen.
