The elders who lead well must be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor by speaking and teaching.
Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you; {considering the outcome of their way of life}, imitate their faith.

But if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to fear, for he is carrying out the Lord's work, as I also [am]. Therefore do not let anyone disdain him, but send him [on his way] in peace in order that he may come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last {you have renewed your concern for me}, for whom also you were thinking, but you had no opportunity [to express it]. Not that I speak from need, for I have learned to be content in whatever [circumstances] I am. I know [how] both {to make do with little} and I know [how] {to have an abundance}. In everything and in all [things] I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both {to have an abundance} and to go without. read more.
I am able [to do] all [things] by the one who strengthens me. Nevertheless you have done well by sharing with me in my affliction. Now you also know, Philippians, that at the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone, because even in Thessalonica {on more than one occasion} you sent for my need. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek for the profit that increases to your account. But I have received everything [in full] and have an abundance; {I am well supplied} [because] I received from Epaphroditus {what you had sent}, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
