Philippians 4:17

Compare all

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.

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

18 Indeed I¹ have all and abound. I am full, having received from ^aEpaphroditus the things sent from you, ^ba sweet-smelling aroma, ^can acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

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

20 ^aNow to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Greeting and Blessing

21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren ^awho are with me greet you.

Philippians 4:17

Not because I desire a gift - I do not speak thus to incite you to send me a farther gift; I speak this on the general subject, because I wish you to bear such fruit as shall abound to your account in the day of the Lord.
