Philippians 4:10-18

10I have great joy in the Lord because now at last you have again expressed your concern for me. (Now I know you were concerned before but had no opportunity to do anything.)

11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance.

12I have experienced times of need and times of abundance. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of contentment, whether I go satisfied or hungry, have plenty or nothing.

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

14Nevertheless, you did well to share with me in my trouble.

15And as you Philippians know, at the beginning of my gospel ministry, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in this matter of giving and receiving except you alone.

16For even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion you sent something for my need.

17I do not say this because I am seeking a gift. Rather, I seek the credit that abounds to your account.

18For I have received everything, and I have plenty. I have all I need because I received from Epaphroditus what you sent – a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, very pleasing to God.
