Philippians 4:10-23

Rejoicing, Peace, Contentment, and Gospel Partnership in Christ

From standing firm in the Lord, to reconciling gospel co-laborers, to rejoicing and prayerful peace, to disciplined thought and practice, to learned contentment and grateful gospel partnership, ending in doxology and grace.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.

11I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.

12I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. In any and every situation I have learned the secret of being filled and being hungry, of having plenty and having need.

13I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

14Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction.

15And as you Philippians know, in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church but you partnered with me in the matter of giving and receiving.

16For even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs again and again.

17Not that I am seeking a gift, but I am looking for the fruit that may be credited to your account.

18I have all I need and more, now that I have received your gifts from Epaphroditus. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

19And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

20To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

21Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings.

22All the saints send you greetings, especially those from the household of Caesar.

23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
