11 Not that I speak concerning need, for I have learned to be content in whatever state I am.
12 I know what it is to be humbled, and I know what it is to have in excess. In any and every situation I have learned both to be filled, and to be hungry, both to have in excess, and to be in need.
13 I have strength to do all, through Messiah who empowers me.
14 Yet you did well in sharing in my pressure.
15 And you know too, Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I went out from Makedonia, no assembly shared with me concerning giving and receiving, except you only,
16 because, even in Thessalonike you sent to my need, once and twice.
17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that is multiplying to your account.
