Philippians 4:14-20
Legacy Standard Bible
14 Nevertheless, you have done well to (A)fellowship with me in my affliction.
15 And you yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the [a](B)first preaching of the gospel, after I left (C)Macedonia, no church (D)fellowshipped with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone. 16 For even in (E)Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. 17 (F)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 (G)Epaphroditus [b]what you have sent, [c](H)a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And (I)my God will fulfill [d]all your needs according to His (J)riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now to (K)our God and Father (L)be the glory [e]forever and ever. Amen.

Philippians 4:14-20
American Standard Version
14 Howbeit ye did well that ye had fellowship with my affliction. 15 And ye yourselves also know, ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the [a]gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving but ye only; 16 for even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my need. 17 Not that I seek for the gift; but I seek for the fruit that increaseth to your account. 18 But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now unto [b]our God and Father be the glory [c]for ever and ever. Amen.
