Philippians 4:7-17

7 And God's peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Brothers and sisters, think about the things that are good and worthy of praise. Think about the things that are true and honorable and right and pure and beautiful and respected.
9 Do what you learned and received from me, what I told you, and what you saw me do. And the God who gives peace will be with you.
10 I am very happy in the Lord that you have shown your care for me again. You continued to care about me, but there was no way for you to show it.
11 I am not telling you this because I need anything. I have learned to be satisfied with the things I have and with everything that happens.
12 I know how to live when I am poor, and I know how to live when I have plenty. I have learned the secret of being happy at any time in everything that happens, when I have enough to eat and when I go hungry, when I have more than I need and when I do not have enough.
13 I can do all things through Christ, because he gives me strength.
14 But it was good that you helped me when I needed it.
15 You Philippians remember when I first preached the Good News there. When I left Macedonia, you were the only church that gave me help.
16 Several times you sent me things I needed when I was in Thessalonica.
17 Really, it is not that I want to receive gifts from you, but I want you to have the good that comes from giving.
