13. I can do all these things in him who strengtheneth me.
14. Nevertheless you have done well in communicating to my tribulation.
15. And you also know, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but you only:
16. For unto Thessalonica also you sent once and again for my use.
17. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that may abound to your account.
18. But I have all, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things you sent, an odour of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
