4:15 And as you Philippians know, at the beginning of my gospel ministry, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in this matter of giving and receiving except you alone. 4:16 For even in Thessalonica ²  on more than one occasion ³  you sent something for my need.

[4:10]  ¹ tn Grk “for you were even concerned, but you lacked opportunity.”

[4:16]  ³ tn Or “several times”; Grk, “both once and twice.” The literal expression “once and twice” is frequently used as a Greek idiom referring to an indefinite low number, but more than once (“several times”); see L&N 60.70.
