Commentators stress that this famous promise is directly linked to the Philippians' sacrificial giving. They supplied Paul's need out of their limited resources, and in return, Paul assures them that God will supply their needs from His unlimited resources. This highlights a biblical principle: God promises to provide for those who generously support His work and His people.
