4:15 And as you Philippians know, at the beginning of my gospel ministry, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in this matter of giving and receiving except you alone. 4:16 For even in Thessalonica ¹  on more than one occasion ²  you sent something for my need. 4:17 I do not say this because I am seeking a gift. ³  Rather, I seek the credit that abounds to your account.
