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.
