³ Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them, those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured.^[a]

³⁶ I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’^(A)

¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

²⁶ If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.

⁸ Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind.^(A)

¹⁸ I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.^[a](A)

Bear One Another’s Burdens

6 My brothers and sisters, if anyone is detected in a transgression, you who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness. Take care that you yourselves are not tempted. ² Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill^[a] the law of Christ.^(A)

⁴³ I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’

¹⁴ In any case, it was kind of you to share my distress.

¹⁵ You Philippians indeed 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.^{(A) 16} For even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me help for my needs more than once. ¹⁷ Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit^[a] that accumulates to your account.^{(B) 18} I have been paid in full and have more than enough; I am fully satisfied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.^{(C) 19} And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.^(D)
