Philippians 4:14

Ye have well done. Even though Paul would in no case complain of his lot, and though he could have done without the gifts of the Philippians, he commends them for their generous interest in him. The apostle is not ungrateful. He recognizes that their contributions are a blessing both to him and to them.

Communicate. Gr. sugkoinoneo, “to share with,” “to have fellowship with,” from sun, “with,” koinoneo, “to become a sharer” (see on Rom. 12:13). Paul valued the sympathy, the fellow feeling, of his friends at Philippi even more than the gifts they had sent. To him the gifts were precious as proof of their love.
