Philippians 4:14-20
New American Standard Bible
14 Nevertheless, you have done well to (A)share with me in my difficulty.
15 You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the [a](B)first preaching of the gospel, after I left (C)Macedonia, no church (D)shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except 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 [b]profit which increases to your account. 18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am [c]amply supplied, having received from (G)Epaphroditus [d]what you have sent, [e](H)a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And (I)my God will supply [f]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 [g]forever and ever. Amen.

Philippians 4:14-20
Lexham English Bible
14 Nevertheless you have done well by sharing[a] with me in my affliction. 15 Now you also know, Philippians, that at the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone, 16 because even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion[b] you sent for my need. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek for the profit that increases to your account. 18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am well supplied[c] because[d] I received from Epaphroditus what you had sent[e], a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. 19 And my God will fulfill your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever[f]. Amen.
