Philippians 4:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ Even when I was at Thessalonica, you helped me. More than once, you sent gifts to me because I needed things.^[a]

¹⁷ It is not your gifts themselves that I want. But I want you to do good things so that God will bless you in return. ¹⁸ Epaphroditus has brought the gifts that you sent to me. I have received those gifts, so that I no longer need anything. You have sent me more than enough. Your gifts are like a sacrifice with a nice smell that you have offered to God. God accepts that kind of sacrifice. It makes him very happy.
