Philippians 4:20 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 4:20

Now unto God and our Father
To God, who is our Father in Christ,

[be] glory for ever and ever, Amen;
for all the grace he gives now, and for all the glory and happiness expected hereafter; for the supply of every want both temporal and spiritual; seeing every good gift comes from him, and is to be ascribed to his free grace and favour, and not to any deserts of men: and particularly he may mean for what they had sent him, and he had received from them.

Philippians 4:20 In-Context

18 But I have received everything [in full] and have an abundance; {I am well supplied} [because] I received from Epaphroditus {what you had sent}, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
19 And my God will fulfill your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
20 Now to our God and Father [be] the glory {forever and ever}. Amen.
21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me greet you.
22 All the saints greet you, and especially those of Caesar's household.
