Philippians 4:12-23 ▼

12 I know how to abound: every where, and in every circumstance, I have been prepar'd for fulness or famine, for plenty or penury:

13 to these things I am equal, thro' Christ who strengthens me.

14 however, you acted generously in assisting me in my necessity:

15 and you yourselves know, O Philippians, that when I first preach'd the gospel, at my departure from Macedonia, I receiv'd no manner of assistance from any other church but yours;

16 for you sent more than once to Thessalonica to supply my occasions.

17 not that I desire a present; but what I desire is, that the fruits of your liberality may greatly redound to your own account.

18 I have now receiv'd the whole, and have more than sufficient: I am loaded with the presents you sent by Epaphroditus, which I have receiv'd as grateful incense, as a sacrifice which God accepts and approves.

19 for which may my God crown all your desires with glory by Christ Jesus.

20 to God our father be glory for ever, amen.

21 Salute all the christian converts, the brethren who are with me salute you.

22 all the converts here salute you, particularly those of Cesar's houshold.

23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. AMEN.
