First Reading Philippians 4:10-19
10Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly, because finally, after some time, your feelings for me have flourished again, just as you formerly felt. For you had been preoccupied.
11I am not saying this as if out of need. For I have learned that, in whatever state I am, it is sufficient.
12I know how to be humbled, and I know how to abound. I am prepared for anything, anywhere: either to be full or to be hungry, either to have abundance or to endure scarcity.
13Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.
14Yet truly, you have done well by sharing in my tribulation.
15But you also know, O Philippians, that at the beginning of the Gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not a single church shared with me in the plan of giving and receiving, except you alone.
16For you even sent to Thessalonica, once, and then a second time, for what was useful to me.
17It is not that I am seeking a gift. Instead, I seek the fruit that abounds to your benefit.
18But I have everything in abundance. I have been filled up, having received from Epaphroditus the things that you sent; this is an odor of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
19And may my God fulfill all your desires, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
