Thematic Bible: Contributes to the maintenance of paul

I rejoiced greatly in the Lord, that your care for me has now flourished again; for whom ye were indeed careful before, but ye wanted opportunity. Not that I speak on account of want; for I have learnt in whatever circumstances I am, to be contented. I know both how to be abased, and how to abound: in every place, and in all conditions I am instructed, both to be full and to be hungry, to abound and to be in want. read more.
I can do all things through Christ strengthening me. Nevertheless ye did well in communicating to the relief of my affliction. And ye Philippians know, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I was departing from Macedonia, no church communicated to me on the score of giving and receiving, but you only. For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again to supply my wants. Not that I desire a gift, but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. And indeed I have it all, and now abound: I am fully supplied, having received of Epaphroditus the things sent by you, a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
