Philippians 4:15-18

15You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the 1 2first preaching of the gospel, after I left 3Macedonia, no church 4shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone;

16for even in 5Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.

17 6Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the 7profit which increases to your account.

18But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am 8amply supplied, having received from 9Epaphroditus 10what you have sent, 11 12a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
