⁵ because of your partnership^(A) in the gospel from the first day^(B) until now,

⁷ It is right^(A) for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart^(B) and, whether I am in chains^(C) or defending^(D) and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.

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.
