Philippians 4:10-20

I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at last you have revived your
concern for me; indeed, you were concerned for me, but had no opportunity
to show it.  Not that I am referring to being in need; for I have learned
to be content with whatever I have.  I know what it is to have little, and
I know what it is to have plenty.  In any and all circumstances I have
learned the secret of being well-fed and of going hungry, of having plenty
and of being in need.  I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
In any case, it was kind of you to share my distress.

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.  For even when I was in Thessalonica, you
sent me help for my needs more than once.  Not that I seek the gift, but I
seek the profit that accumulates to your account.  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.  And my God will fully satisfy
every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.  To
our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
