14 Yet it was good of you to share(A) in my troubles. 15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days(B) of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia,(C) not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;(D) 16 for even when I was in Thessalonica,(E) you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.(F) 17 Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account.(G) 18 I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus(H) the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant(I) offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And my God will meet all your needs(J) according to the riches of his glory(K) in Christ Jesus.

20 To our God and Father(L) be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(M)

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)
