Philippians 4:17 Context
15Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the Gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no Church communicated with mee, as concerning giuing and receiuing, but ye onely. 16For euen in Thessalonica, ye sent once, and againe vnto my necessitie. 17Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18But I haue all, and abound. I am full, hauing receiued of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God. 19But my God shall supply all your need, according to his riches in glory, by Christ Iesus.
