Filippesi 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.

Filippesi 4:16 In-Context

14 Nondimeno avete fatto bene a prender parte alla mia afflizione.
15 Anche voi sapete, o Filippesi, che quando cominciai a predicar l’Evangelo, dopo aver lasciato la Macedonia, nessuna chiesa mi fece parte di nulla per quanto concerne il dare e l’avere, se non voi soli;
16 poiché anche a Tessalonica m’avete mandato una prima e poi una seconda volta di che sovvenire al mio bisogno.
17 Non già ch’io ricerchi i doni; ricerco piuttosto il frutto che abbondi a conto vostro.
18 Or io ho ricevuto ogni cosa, e abbondo. Sono pienamente provvisto, avendo ricevuto da Epafròdito quel che m’avete mandato, e che è un profumo d’odor soave, un sacrificio accettevole, gradito a Dio.
