Philippians 1:7, Philippians 2:25-30, Philippians 4:10-18 - LSB - Legacy Standard Bible

¹For ^ait is only right for me to think this way about you all, because I ^bhave you in my heart, since both in my ^cchains and in the ^ddefense and confirmation of the ^egospel, you all are fellow partakers with me in this grace.

Philippians 2:25-30

25 But I regarded it necessary to send to you ^aEpaphroditus, my brother and ^bfellow worker and ^cfellow soldier, who is also your ¹^dmessenger and ^aminister to my need; 26 because he was longing ¹for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. 27 For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned. 29 ^aReceive him then in the Lord with all joy, and ^bhold men like him in high regard 30 because he came close to death ¹^afor the work of Christ, risking his life to ^bfulfill ²what was lacking in your service to me.

Philippians 4:10-18

God Will Fill Your Needs

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last ^ayou have revived thinking about me; indeed, you were thinking about me before, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak ¹from want, for I learned to be ²^acontent in whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in abundance; in any and all things I have learned the secret of being filled and going ^ahungry, both of having abundance and ^bsuffering need. 13 I can do all things ¹through Him who ^astrengthens me. 14 Nevertheless, you have done well to ^afellowship with me in my affliction.
15 And you yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the ¹^afirst preaching of the gospel, after I left ^bMacedonia, no church ^cfellowshipped with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone. 16 For even in ^aThessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. 17 ^aNot that I seek the gift itself, but I seek the fruit which increases to your account. 18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I have been filled, having received from ^aEpaphroditus ¹what you have sent, ²^ba fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
