Philippians 4:12-23 ▼

12 I know both how to live in humble circumstances and how to live amid abundance. I am fully initiated into all the mysteries both of fulness and of hunger, of abundance and of want.

13 I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power.

14 Yet I thank you for taking your share in my troubles.

15 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;

16 because even in Thessalonica you sent several times to minister to my needs.

17 Not that I crave for gifts from you, but I do want to see abundant fruit bring you honour.

18 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.

19 But my God--so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus--will fully supply every need of yours.

20 And to our God and Father be the glory throughout the Ages of the Ages! Amen.

21 My Christian greetings to every one of God's people. The brethren who are with me send their greetings.

22 All God's people here greet you--especially the members of Caesar's household.

23 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.
