Philippians 4:15-17
New English Translation
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. 16 For even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion[a] you sent something for my need. 17 I do not say this because I am seeking a gift.[b] Rather, I seek the credit that abounds to your account.
