13. I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me.
14. But it was very good of you to help me in my troubles.
15. You Philippians know very well that when I left Macedonia in the early days of preaching the Good News, you were the only church to help me; you were the only ones who shared my profits and losses.
16. More than once when I needed help in Thessalonica, you sent it to me.
17. It is not that I just want to receive gifts; rather, I want to see profit added to your account.
