14. Still, it was kind of you to share in my distress.
15. You Philippians indeed know that at the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, not a single church shared with me in an account of giving and receiving, except you alone.
16. For even when I was at Thessalonica you sent me something for my needs, not only once but more than once.
17. It is not that I am eager for the gift; rather, I am eager for the profit that accrues to your account.
18. I have received full payment and I abound. I am very well supplied because of what I received from you through Epaphroditus, “a fragrant aroma,” an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
