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

¹⁰ I was made very happy as a Christian to have your interest in my welfare revived again after so long; because you have always had the interest but not the opportunity to show it. ¹¹ Not that I refer to any personal want, for I have learned to be contented in whatever circumstances I am. ¹² I know how to live in lowly circumstances and I know how to live in plenty. I have learned the secret, in all circumstances, of either getting a full meal or of going hungry, of living in plenty or being in want. ¹³ I can do anything through Him who gives me strength. ¹⁴ But you did me a kindness to share my sorrow with me.

¹⁵ And you Philippians yourselves know that immediately after the good news was first preached to you, when I left Macedonia, no church but yours went into partnership with me to open an account of credits and debits. ¹⁶ Even while I was at Thessalonica you sent money more than once for my needs. ¹⁷ It is not your gift that I want, but I do want the profits to pile up to your credit. ¹⁸ I have received your payment in full, and more too. I am amply supplied after getting the things you sent by Epaphroditus; they are like sweet incense, the kind of sacrifice that God accepts and approves. ¹⁹ My God will amply supply your every need, through Christ Jesus, from His riches in glory. ²⁰ Glory to our God and Father forever and ever. Amen.
