Philp. 4:10 Now I have received great inner happiness in the Lord, because now your thinking of me<br />
has blossomed once again [referring to their 2nd monetary contribution]. Indeed, you had been<br />
thinking about it [it wasn’t impulsive giving], but you yourselves [rather than through Epaphroditus]<br />
had no opportunity [to show me personally].<br />
Philp. 4:11 Not that I am speaking with reference to poverty, because I have learned to be<br />
continually content [self-sufficient in supergrace status <strong>by</strong> means of the Lord] in whatever<br />
[circumstances] I am in.<br />
Philp. 4:12 In fact, I have come to know [as the result of my past recovery from reversionism] how<br />
to be humbled [<strong>by</strong> divine discipline]; I have also come to know [as a result of passing providential<br />
preventative suffering and momentum testing] how to live in extreme abundance [supergrace B<br />
status]. In every circumstance I have been completely initiated [<strong>by</strong> continual testing & discipline],<br />
both to be satisfied [saturated with Bible doctrine] and to hunger [for more spiritual food which leads<br />
to ultra-supergrace], both to have more than enough [doctrine is coming out of his ears] and to be<br />
lacking [not yet in ultra-supergrace].<br />
Philp. 4:13 I have the enabling power [delegated divine omnipotence] to attain all things [every<br />
stage of spiritual growth] in the sphere of the One [Holy Spirit] Who keeps on pouring the power<br />
into me [filling of the Spirit].<br />
Philp. 4:14 In any case, you have performed splendidly [no strings attached] when [<strong>by</strong> financial<br />
contribution] you shared in my affliction [imprisonment].<br />
Philp. 4:15 Now you <strong>Philippians</strong>, you also know with a certainty, that in the beginning of the gospel<br />
[ministry], when I had departed from Macedonia, not a single church [due to lack of maturity]<br />
contributed to me with reference to the doctrine of giving and receiving, except only you,<br />
Philp. 4:16 Because even in Thessalonica you sent [an offering, grace gift] for my needs more than<br />
once [several times].<br />
Philp. 4:17 Not because I am seeking after a gift [evil motivation], but I make it a practice to seek<br />
after the spiritual fruit [interest income: divine good production] which accumulates to your account<br />
[accrues to your spiritual balance sheet] as a result of your doctrine [the investment of Bible doctrine<br />
in your soul brings great assets into your spiritual balance sheet].<br />
Philp. 4:18 Moreover, I have received in total the all things [monetary & supergrace blessings] and I<br />
have more than enough [great abundance with leftovers]; I have been filled up to the point of<br />
overflowing in the past and I continue to be overflowing with blessings, having received in person<br />
from Epaphroditus the things [financial gifts] from you all, a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice,<br />
pleasing to God.
