Now I rejoiced greatly in the Lord, that now once more your thoughtful attention about me hath again sprung up, to which also your mind had been disposed, but ye had not found the opportunity. Not that I mention this with a view to my indigence: for I have learned in whatever circumstances I am, to be content. I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in every state and in all situations I am instructed either to be full or famishing, either to enjoy abundance, or to suffer want: read more.
I am enabled for all things by Christ who strengtheneth me. Nevertheless ye have done nobly in your communications to me during my affliction. But know also, Philippians, that at my first preaching the gospel, when I went from Macedonia, no church communicated to me in the way of giving and receiving but ye alone. For in Thessalonica also ye sent me once, yea twice, a supply for my want. Not that I am anxious for a gift; but I am anxious to see fruit abounding on your account. But I have now all things, and abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus your bounty, an odour of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.
