11 I speake not because of necessitie. For I haue learned, in whatsoeuer estate I am, therwith to be content. 12 I knowe howe to be lowe, and I knowe howe to exceade. Euery where & in all thynges I am instructed, both to be ful, and to be hungry, both to haue plentie, and to suffer neede. 13 I can do all thynges through Christe, which strengtheneth me. 14 Notwithstandyng, ye haue well done yt ye dyd communicate to my afflictions. 15 Ye Philippians knowe also, that in the begynnyng of the Gospell, when I departed fro Macedonia, no Church communicated to me, as concernyng geuyng and receauyng, but ye only. 16 For euen in Thessalonica, ye sent once, & afterward agayne vnto my necessitie. 17 Not that I desire a gyft, but I desire fruite aboundyng to your accompt. 18 But I haue receaued al, & haue plentie. I was euen fylled after that I had receaued of Epaphroditus the thynges which were sent from you, an odoure of a sweete smel, a sacrifice acceptable, plesaunt to God. 19 My God shall supplie all your neede, through his riches in glorie, in Christe Iesus. 20 Unto God and our father, be prayse for euermore. Amen. 21 Salute all the saintes in Christe Iesus. The brethren which are with me, greete you. 22 All the saintes salute you, most of all, they that are of Caesars housholde. 23 The grace of our Lorde Iesu Christe be with you all. Amen.
