I have been initiated into the secret for all sorts and conditions of life, for plenty and for hunger, for prosperity and for privations. read more.
In him who strengthens me I am able for anything. But you were kind enough to take your share in my trouble.

It is not the money I am anxious for; what I am anxious for is the interest that accumulates in this way to your divine credit! Your debt to me is fully paid and more than paid! I am amply supplied with what you have sent by Epaphroditus, a fragrant perfume, the sort of sacrifice that God approves and welcomes.
