004:015 And you men and women of Philippi also know that at the first preaching of the Good News, when I had left Macedonia, no other Church except yourselves held communication with me about giving and receiving;
004:016 because even in Thessalonica you sent several times to minister
to my needs.
004:017 Not that I crave for gifts from you, but I do want to see
abundant fruit bring you honour.
004:018 I have enough of everything—and more than enough. My wants are fully satisfied now that I have received from the hands of Epaphroditus the generous gifts which you sent me—they are a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, truly pleasing to God.
004:019 But my God—so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus—
will fully supply every need of yours.
004:020 And to our God and Father be the glory throughout the Ages
of the Ages! Amen.
004:021 My Christian greetings to every one of God's people.
The brethren who are with me send their greetings.
004:022 All God's people here greet you—especially the members
of Caesar's household.
004:023 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.
