10Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly, that now at length your thought for me has flourished again, as you did also think; but you were busied.

11I speak not as it were for want. For I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content with it.

12I know both how to be brought low, and I know how to abound: (everywhere, and in all things I am instructed) both to be full, and to be hungry; both to abound, and to suffer need.

13I can do all these things in him who strengtheneth me.

14Nevertheless you have done well in communicating to my trouble.

15And you also know, OH Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but you only:

16For to Thessalonica also you sent once and again for my use.

17Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that may abound to your account.

18But I have all, and abound: I am satisfied, having received from Epaphroditus the things you sent, an odour of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

19And may my God supply all your want, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

5Acceptable is the man that shows mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

6because he shall not be moved forever.

9He has distributed, he has given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth forever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

9And I say to you: Make to you friends of the mammon of sin; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into eternal dwellings.

10He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.

11If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?

12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's; who will give you that which is your own?

13No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

14Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

15And he said to them: You are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is high to men, is an abomination before God.
