14 Even so, you have done well to share with me in my present difficulty.

15 As you know, you Philippians were the only ones who gave me financial help when I first brought you the Good News and then traveled on from Macedonia. No other church did this. 16 Even when I was in Thessalonica you sent help more than once. 17 I don’t say this because I want a gift from you. Rather, I want you to receive a reward for your kindness.

18 At the moment I have all I need—and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.

20 Now all glory to God our Father forever and ever! Amen.

Paul’s Final Greetings

21 Give my greetings to each of God’s holy people—all who belong to Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you their greetings. 22 And all the rest of God’s people send you greetings, too, especially those in Caesar’s household.

23 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.[a]

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)

Final Greetings

21 Greet all God’s people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me(N) send greetings. 22 All God’s people(O) here send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household.

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ(P) be with your spirit.(Q) Amen.[a]
