Philippian Generosity

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last ^ayour care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.

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

12 ^aI know how to¹ be abased, and I know how to² 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 can do all things ^athrough Christ who strengthens me.

14 Nevertheless you have done well that ^ayou shared in my distress.

15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, ^ano church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only.

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