12. I know how both to make do with little and I know how to have an abundance. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to have an abundance and to go without.
13. I am able to do all things by the one who strengthens me.
14. Nevertheless you have done well by sharing with me in my affliction.
15. Now you also know, Philippians, that at the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone,
16. because even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion you sent for my need.
17. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek for the profit that increases to your account.
18. But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am well supplied because I received from Epaphroditus what you had sent, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
19. And my God will fulfill your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
20. Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
21. Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me greet you.
