Philippians 4:10-18

10I rejoiced in the Lord greatly because once again you renewed your care for me. You were, in fact, concerned about me but lacked the opportunity to show it.

11I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I find myself.

12I know how to make do with little, and I know how to make do with a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content — whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need.

13I am able to do all things through him who strengthens me.

14Still, you did well by partnering with me in my hardship.

15And you Philippians know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone.

16For even in Thessalonica you sent gifts for my need several times.

17Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit that is increasing to your account.

18But I have received everything in full, and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you provided — a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
