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
International Standard Version
14 Nevertheless, it was kind of you to share my troubles.
15 You Philippians also know that in the early days[a] of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church participated with me in the matter of giving and receiving except for you. 16 Even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs not once, but twice. 17 It is not that I am looking for a gift. No, I want to see that you receive the fruit that increases to your benefit. 18 I have been paid in full and have more than enough. I am fully supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus what you sent—a fragrant aroma, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And my God will fully supply your every need according to his glorious riches in the Messiah[b] Jesus. 20 Glory belongs to our God and Father forever and ever! Amen.
