TEXT – Philippians 4:10-20 (ESV)

10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were

indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need,

for I have learned, in whatever situation I am, to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I

know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and

hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. 14 Yet it was

kind of you to share my trouble. 15 And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of

the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and

receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and

again. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. 18 I have

received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts

you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And my God will

supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and

Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
