Philippian Generosity

But I rejoiced in [the] Lord greatly, that now however at length ye have revived your thinking of me, though surely ye did also think [of me], but lacked opportunity.

10

Philippian Generosity

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your[c] care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.

11

Not that I speak as regards privation, for as to me *I* have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself.

11

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

12

I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation.

12

I know how to [d]be abased, and I know how to [e]abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13

I have strength for all things in him that gives me power.

13

I can do all things through [f]Christ who strengthens me.

14

But ye have done well in taking part in my affliction.

14

Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress.

15

And know also *ye*, O Philippians, that in [the] beginning of the gospel, when I came out of Macedonia, no assembly communicated [anything] to me in [the] way of giving and receiving save *ye* alone;

15

Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only.

16

for also in Thessalonica once and even twice ye sent to me for my need.

16

For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities.

17

Not that I seek gift, but I seek fruit abounding to your account.

17

Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.

18

But I have all things in full supply and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [sent] from you, an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to God.

18

Indeed I [g]have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

19

But my God shall abundantly supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

19

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

20

But to our God and Father [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen.

20

Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

21

Final Greetings

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who [are] with me salute you.
