4 ¹⁰ I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me; you were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 4 ¹¹ Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. 4 ¹² I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. 4 ¹³ I can do all things in him who strengthens me.

4 ¹⁴ Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. 4 ¹⁵ And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving except you only; 4 ¹⁶ for even in Thessalonica you sent me help once and again. 4 ¹⁷ Not that I seek the gift; but I seek the fruit which increases to your credit. 4 ¹⁸ I have received full payment, and more; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 4 ¹⁹ And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 4 ²⁰ To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
