Philippians 4 — Context

But I will not say anything about my needs, for I am able, wherever I am, to be dependent on myself.

It is the same to me if I am looked down on or honoured; everywhere and in all things I have the secret of how to be full and how to go without food; how to have wealth and how to be in need.

I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

But you did well to have care for me in my need.

And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only;

Because even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to me in my need.

Not that I am looking for an offering, but for fruit which may be put to your credit.
