10 I was made very happy in the Lord that now you have revived your interest in my welfare after so long a time; you were indeed thinking of me, but you had no opportunity to show it.

11 Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

11 I don't say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

11 I am not saying this because I am in any need, for I have learned to be content in whatever situation I am in.

11 Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am.

12 I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.

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.

14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.

14 Still, you did well by sharing with me in my hardship.

14 Nevertheless, it was kind of you to share my troubles.

14 But it was right and commendable and noble of you to contribute for my needs and to share my difficulties with me.

15 You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone;

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 And you, Philippians, know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone.

16 For even in Thessalonica you sent [me contributions] for my needs, not only once but a second time.

17 Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account.

17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that is increasing to your account.

17 It is not that I am looking for a gift. No, I want to see that you receive the fruit that increases to your benefit.

17 Not that I seek or am eager for [your] gift, but I do seek and am eager for the fruit which increases to your credit [the harvest of blessing that is accumulating to your account].

18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

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 But I have received everything in full, and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you provided-a fragrant offering, a welcome sacrifice, pleasing to God.

18 I have been paid in full and have more than enough. I am fully supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus what you sent a fragrant aroma, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.

18 But I have [your full payment] and more; I have everything I need and am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent me. [They are the] fragrant odor of an offering and sacrifice which God welcomes and in which He delights.
