5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brothers and sisters, even though they are strangers to you;(A) 6 they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on in a manner worthy of God,(B) 7 for they began their journey for the sake of Christ,[a] accepting no support from nonbelievers.[b](C) 8 Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we may become coworkers with the truth.
Diotrephes and Demetrius
9 I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not welcome us. 10 So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing in spreading false charges against us. And not content with those charges, he refuses to welcome the brothers and sisters and even prevents those who want to do so and expels them from the church.(D)

Please send them on their way(C) in a manner that honors(D) God. 7 It was for the sake of the Name(E) that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans.(F) 8 We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth.

14 In any case, it was kind of you to share my distress.
15 You Philippians indeed know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone.(A) 16 For even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me help for my needs more than once. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit[a] that accumulates to your account.(B) 18 I have been paid in full and have more than enough; I am fully satisfied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.(C) 19 And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.(D)

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.
