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
Revised Standard Version
14 Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. 15 And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedo′nia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving except you only; 16 for even in Thessaloni′ca you sent me help[a] once and again. 17 Not that I seek the gift; but I seek the fruit which increases to your credit. 18 I have received full payment, and more; I am filled, having received from Epaphrodi′tus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
