| King James Version (KJV) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again ; wherein ye were also careful , but ye lacked opportunity .
|
10 I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
|
|
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned , in whatsoever state I am , therewith to be content.
|
11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
|
|
12 I know both how to be abased , and I know how to abound : every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry , both to abound and to suffer need .
|
12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
|
|
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
|
13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
|
|
14 Notwithstanding ye have well done , that ye did communicate with my affliction.
|
14 Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.
|
|
15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
|
15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;
|
|
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
|
16 for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again when I was in need.
|
|
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
|
17 Not that I am looking for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account.
|
|
18 But I have all, and abound : I am full , having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
|
18 I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
|
|
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
|
19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
|
|
20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
|
20 To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
