Philippians 4:10-20 - Support For Paul's Ministry
10 But I rejoice with a deep and holy joy that now at length you have revived your thoughtfulness for my welfare. Indeed you have always been thoughtful for me, although opportunity failed you. 11 I do not refer to this through fear of privation, for (for my part) 12 I know both how to live in humble circumstances and how to live amid abundance. I am fully initiated into all the mysteries both of fulness and of hunger, of abundance and of want. 13 I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power. 14 Yet I thank you for taking your share in my troubles.
15 And you men and women of Philippi also know that at the first preaching of the Good News, when I had left Macedonia, no other Church except yourselves held communication with me about giving and receiving; 16 because even in Thessalonica you sent several times to minister to my needs. 17 Not that I crave for gifts from you, but I do want to see abundant fruit bring you honour. 18 I have enough of everything--and more than enough. My wants are fully satisfied now that I have received from the hands of Epaphroditus the generous gifts which you sent me--they are a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, truly pleasing to God. 19 But my God--so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus--will fully supply every need of yours. 20 And to our God and Father be the glory throughout the Ages of the Ages! Amen.
