⁸ I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;

⁹ And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.

¹⁴ But you did well to have care for me in my need.

¹⁵ And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only;

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

¹⁸ I have all things and more than enough: I am made full, having had from Epaphroditus the things which came from you, a perfume of a sweet smell, an offering well pleasing to God.
