15. You Philippians know from the time of my first mission work in Macedonia how no church shared in supporting my ministry except you.
16. You sent contributions repeatedly to take care of my needs even while I was in Thessalonica.
17. I’m not hoping for a gift, but I am hoping for a profit that accumulates in your account.
18. I now have plenty and it is more than enough. I am full to overflowing because I received the gifts that you sent from Epaphroditus. Those gifts give off a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice that pleases God.
