10

But I am very glad in the Lord that your care for me has come to life again though you did in fact take thought for me, but you were not able to give effect to it.

11

But I will not say anything about my needs, for I am able, wherever I am, to be dependent on myself.

12

It is the same to me if I am looked down on or honoured everywhere and in all things I have the secret of how to be full and how to go without food how to have wealth and how to be in need.

13

I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

14

But you did well to have care for me in my need.

15

And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only

16

Because even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to me in my need.

17

Not that I am looking for an offering, but for fruit which may be put to your credit.

18

I have all things and more than enough: I am made full, having had from Epaphroditus the things which came from you, a perfume of a sweet smell, an offering well pleasing to God.

19

And my God will give you all you have need of from the wealth of his glory in Christ Jesus.

20

Now to God our Father be glory for ever and ever. So be it.
