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.

14 Still, you did well by sharing with me in my hardship.

15 And you Philippians(A) know that in the early days of the gospel,(B) when I left Macedonia,(C) no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone. 16 For even in Thessalonica(D) you sent gifts for my need(E) several times. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit[a](F) that is increasing to your account. 18 But I have received everything in full,(G) and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus(H) what you provided—a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing(I) to God. 19 And my God(J) will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God and Father(K) be glory forever and ever.(L) Amen.(M)
