for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.
17 Not that I seek gift, but I seek fruit abounding to your account.

Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account.

18
I have received full payment and have more than enough. 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.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
