¹⁵ Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days^(A) of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia,^(B) not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;^{(C) 16} for even when I was in Thessalonica,^(D) you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.^(E)

⁸ I robbed other churches by receiving support from them^(A) so as to serve you. ⁹ And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed.^(B) I have kept myself from being a burden to you^(C) in any way, and will continue to do so.
