But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.
All Commentaries on Philippians 4:18 Go To Philippians 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
“It is not I,” he says, “who have received but God through me. So I personally have no need of your gifts. Let this not concern you. And God himself has no need either. Yet he accepts these gifts.” … It is not the incense or the smoke that makes an acceptable offering but the will of the one who offers. .
