  10 But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.

  11 Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.

  12 I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.

  13 I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

  14 However you did well that you shared in my affliction.

  15 You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.

  16 For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.

  17 Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.

  18 But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.

  19 My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

  20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

  21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.

  22 All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.

  23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

- Gospel

  Luke 6:24–30

  24 “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.

  25 Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

  26 Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.

  27 “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

  28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

  29 To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.

  30 Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
