Philippians 4:10-23

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁰ I was made very happy in the Lord that now you have revived your interest in my welfare after so long a time; you were indeed thinking of me, but you had no opportunity to show it.

¹¹ Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be ^[a] content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am.

¹² I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want.

¹³ I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who ^[b]infuses inner strength into me; I am ^[c]self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].

¹⁴ But it was right and commendable and noble of you to contribute for my needs and to share my difficulties with me.

¹⁵ And you Philippians yourselves well know that in the early days of the Gospel ministry, when I left Macedonia, no church (assembly) entered into partnership with me and opened up [a debit and credit] account in giving and receiving except you only.

¹⁶ For even in Thessalonica you sent [me contributions] for my needs, not only once but a second time.

¹⁷ Not that I seek or am eager for [your] gift, but I do seek and am eager for the fruit which increases to your credit [the harvest of blessing that is accumulating to your account].

¹⁸ But I have [your full payment] and more; I have everything I need and am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent me. [They are the] fragrant odor of an offering and sacrifice which God welcomes and in which He delights.

¹⁹ And my God will liberally supply (^[d]fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

²⁰ To our God and Father be glory forever and ever (through the endless eternities of the eternities). Amen (so be it).

²¹ Remember me to every saint (every born-again believer) in Christ Jesus. The brethren (my ^[e]associates) who are with me greet you.

²² All the saints (God’s consecrated ones here) wish to be remembered to you, especially those of Caesar’s household.

²³ The grace (spiritual favor and blessing) of the Lord Jesus Christ (the Anointed One) be with your spirit. Amen (so be it).
