   Paul’s Letter To The Philippians

14 - It was kind of you to share my trouble. 15 And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of this good news, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in regard to the matter of giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in (neighboring) Thessalonica you sent me aid twice. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit! 18 Now I am full, I have enough and more. I’m well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. A fragrant offering! - A sacrifice - acceptable and pleasing to God {Ps.40:6}. 19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches through the glory that’s in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

     21 Greet every saint (believers/followers) in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you. 22 All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar's household. 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit!

   Paul’s Letter To The Philippians

17 - Even if I’m being poured out like a sacrificial offering in faith and service, I’m glad and rejoice! 18 And so should you.

     19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of how you are doing. 20 For I’ve no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know Timothy's proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel. 23 I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me. 24 And I trust in the Lord that shortly I too may come to see you. 25 I’ve thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and soldier, your messenger you sent to help me. 26 For he has been missing you all and has been distressed because you heard he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, near to death even. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also! Lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and I too will be less anxious. 29 Receive him in the Lord with all joy! And honor such men as he, 30 for he nearly died for the work of Christ. And he risked his life to complete what you were unable do yourselves.
