Philippians 4

Gratitude for the Philippians’ Partnership

10I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that your concern for me has blossomed again. You were concerned before, but had no opportunity to act. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I face. 12I know how to live with little, and I know how to have plenty. In every situation I have learned the secret: being well fed or hungry, having plenty or going without. 13I have strength for all things through the one who strengthens me.

14Still, you did well to share in my distress. 15You Philippians know that in the early days of the good news, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the account of giving and receiving except you alone. 16Even in Thessalonica, you sent help for my needs more than once. 17It is not the gift I seek, but the fruit that grows to your account.

18I have received everything in full and have more than enough. I am well supplied now that I have received your gifts from Epaphroditus—a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19And my God will meet every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Doxology
