Philippians 4:15-18
Legacy Standard Bible
15 And you yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the [a](A)first preaching of the gospel, after I left (B)Macedonia, no church (C)fellowshipped with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone. 16 For even in (D)Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. 17 (E)Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek the fruit which increases to your account. 18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I have been filled, having received from (F)Epaphroditus [b]what you have sent, [c](G)a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

Philippians 4:15-18
New International Version
15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days(A) of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia,(B) not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;(C) 16 for even when I was in Thessalonica,(D) you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.(E) 17 Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account.(F) 18 I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus(G) the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant(H) offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
