Filipenses 4:16 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 4:16

For even in Thessalonica
When the apostle was there; for from Philippi he went to Thessalonica; see ( Acts 17:1 ) ;

ye sent once and again unto my necessity;
for his use and service, to support him while he was at that place, and relieve and assist him in his necessities; for the people at Thessalonica were either not able to communicate, or were not of a beneficent disposition, or the apostle did not care to be chargeable to them; and they seem many of them to have been idle and lazy, and therefore he wrought among them with his own hands to set them an example; and the Philippians hearing and knowing that this was the case, sent frequently, while he was here, some of the brethren with gifts unto him.

Filipenses 4:16 In-Context

14 Sin embargo, habéis hecho bien en compartir conmigo en mi aflicción.

15 Y vosotros mismos también sabéis, filipenses, que al comienzo de la predicación del evangelio, después que partí de Macedonia, ninguna iglesia compartió conmigo en cuestión de dar y recibir, sino vosotros solos;

16 porque aun a Tesalónica enviasteis dádivas más de una vez para mis necesidades.

17 No es que busque la dádiva en sí, sino que busco fruto que aumente en vuestra cuenta.

18 Pero lo he recibido todo y tengo abundancia; estoy bien abastecido, habiendo recibido de Epafrodito lo que habéis enviado: fragante aroma, sacrificio aceptable, agradable a Dios.
