Philippians 4:14-20
English Standard Version
14 Yet it was kind of you (A)to share[a] my trouble. 15 And you Philippians yourselves know that (B)in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, (C)no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. 17 (D)Not that I seek the gift, but I seek (E)the fruit that increases to your credit.[b] 18 I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, (F)having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, (G)a fragrant offering, (H)a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And my God (I)will supply every need of yours (J)according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 To (K)our God and Father be (L)glory forever and ever. Amen.

Philippians 4:14-20
Common English Bible
14 Still, you have done well to share my distress.
15 You Philippians know from the time of my first mission work in Macedonia how no church shared in supporting my ministry except you. 16 You sent contributions repeatedly to take care of my needs even while I was in Thessalonica. 17 I’m not hoping for a gift, but I am hoping for a profit that accumulates in your account. 18 I now have plenty and it is more than enough. I am full to overflowing because I received the gifts that you sent from Epaphroditus. Those gifts give off a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice that pleases God. 19 My God will meet your every need out of his riches in the glory that is found in Christ Jesus. 20 Let glory be given to God our Father forever and always. Amen.
