Charles Spurgeon Commentary Philippians 4:18-19

"But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things [that came] from you, and odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:18-19 (ASV)

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

It is Paul's God who took care of the Philippians; and it is Paul's God who will take care of you and me: "My God," says Paul, "shall supply all your need, – not as you have supplied mine, out of your poverty, but according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Do any of you know the measure of this immeasurable text, "according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus"?

Do not imagine that you will ever exhaust God's riches in glory, or drain the treasury of all-sufficiency; that cannot be.

Having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

I am sure that, when they read this verse, they all felt glad that they had had a share in the subscription to relieve the apostle's needs.
