“For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.”
King James Version (KJV)
4:15 In the beginning of the gospel - When it was first preached at Philippi. In respect of giving - On your part. And receiving - On mine.
4:17 Not that I desire - For my own sake, the very gift which I receive of you.
4:18 An odour of a sweet smell - More pleasing to God than the sweetest perfumes to men.
Php 4:16 Even in Thessalonica. After leaving Philippi Paul next labored at Thessalonica. See Act 17:1-4. Ye sent once and again unto my necessity. While her the newly- founded church of the Philippians sent to him contributions at least twice. They also aided him later while he was in Corinth (2Co 11:9).
For euen in Thessalonica, ye sent once, and againe vnto my necessitie.
