15. You Philippians also know that in the early days, when I left the province of Macedonia to spread the Good News, you were the only church to share your money with me. You gave me what I needed, and you received what I gave you.
16. Even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs twice.
17. It’s not that I’m looking for a gift. The opposite is true. I’m looking for your resources to increase.
18. You have paid me in full, and I have more than enough. Now that Epaphroditus has brought me your gifts, you have filled my needs. Your gifts are a soothing aroma, a sacrifice that God accepts and with which he is pleased.
19. My God will richly fill your every need in a glorious way through Christ Jesus.
20. Glory belongs to our God and Father forever! Amen.
21. Greet everyone who believes in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings to you.
