Context of Philippians 4:19
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. My God will richly fill your every need in a glorious way through Christ Jesus. 20Glory belongs to our God and Father forever! Amen. 21Greet everyone who believes in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings to you.
