Philippians 4:14-18

14Nevertheless, it was kind of you to share my troubles.

15You Philippians also know that in the early days, when I left the province of Macedonia to spread the Good News, you were the only church to share your money with me. You gave me what I needed, and you received what I gave you.

16Even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs twice.

17It’s not that I’m looking for a gift. The opposite is true. I’m looking for your resources to increase.

18You have paid me in full, and I have more than enough. Now that Epaphroditus has brought me your gifts, you have filled my needs. Your gifts are a soothing aroma, a sacrifice that God accepts and with which he is pleased.
