I have all I need and more, now that I have received your gifts from Epaphroditus. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
Paul had a grateful spirit, and though the Philippians owed him their very souls, he speaks of their gift as if it were generous charity rather than a just debt. What they sent was small, yet he records it for all ages to read; their kindness shall be a memorial wherever this epistle goes. They alone helped him when he left Macedonia, when no other church did so.

Commenting on Philippians 4:10-19
But I have all things, and abound,.... Or "I have received all things", as the Syriac version renders it; all that they had sent by Epaphroditus; and for which he now gives a receipt; and by virtue of which he now abounded; and which abundance of his was not so much owing to the largeness of their presents, as to the peace of his mind...
18 I have received all things, and abound He declares in more explicit terms, that he has what is sufficient, and honors their liberality with a remarkable testimony, by saying, that he has been filled. It was undoubtedly a moderate sum that they had sent, but he says, that by means of that moderate sum he is filled to satiety.
