  Philippians 4:10–23

  Show the text

  ¹⁰But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.

  ¹¹Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.

  ¹²I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.

  ¹³I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

  ¹⁴However you did well that you shared in my affliction.

  ¹⁵You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.

  ¹⁶For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.

  ¹⁷Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.

  ¹⁸But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.

  ¹⁹My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

  ²⁰Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

  ²¹Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.

  ²²All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.

  ²³The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

  ²²Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”

  ²³Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

  ²⁴for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”
