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. Philippians 4:14-18, Weymouth New Testament. Public domain.
