14 Nevertheless ye have done well, communing to my tribulation.

15 For ye, Philippians, know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I went forth from Macedonia, no church communed with me in reason of thing given and taken, but ye alone.

16 Which sent to Thessalonica once and twice also into use to me. [For and to Thessalonica ye sent once and twice into use to me.]

17 Not for I seek gift, but I require fruit abounding in your reason. [Not for I seek gift, but I require, or seek again, fruit abounding in your reason.]

18 For I have all things, and abound; I am filled[a] with those things taken of Epaphroditus, which ye sent into the odour of sweetness, a suitable sacrifice [a covenable host, or sacrifice], pleasing to God.

19 And my God fill all your desire, by his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. [Forsooth my God full-fill all your desire, after his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.]

20 But to God and our Father be glory into worlds of worlds. Amen.

  1. Philippians 4:18 I am full-filled/I am replete

14 Yet it was good of you to share(A) in my troubles. 15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days(B) of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia,(C) not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;(D) 16 for even when I was in Thessalonica,(E) you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.(F) 17 Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account.(G) 18 I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus(H) the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant(I) offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And my God will meet all your needs(J) according to the riches of his glory(K) in Christ Jesus.

20 To our God and Father(L) be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(M)
