10But I am very glad in the Lord that your care for me has come to life again; though you did in fact take thought for me, but you were not able to give effect to it.
11But I will not say anything about my needs, for I am able, wherever I am, to be dependent on myself.
12It is the same to me if I am looked down on or honoured; everywhere and in all things I have the secret of how to be full and how to go without food; how to have wealth and how to be in need.
13I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.
14But you did well to have care for me in my need.
15And 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;
16Because even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to me in my need.
