16 Even when I was in Thessalonica, you helped me more than once.
17 I am not trying to get something from you, but I want you to receive the blessings that come from giving.
18 I have been paid back everything, and with interest. I am completely satisfied with the gifts you sent with Epaphroditus. They are like a sweet-smelling offering or like the right kind of sacrifice that pleases God.
19 I pray that God will take care of all your needs with the wonderful blessings that come from Christ Jesus!
20 May God our Father be praised forever and ever. Amen.
21 Give my greetings to all who are God's people because of Christ Jesus.The Lord's followers here with me send you their greetings.
22 All of God's people send their greetings, especially those in the service of the Emperor.
