Philippians 4:19

King James Bible

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

Commentary

Paul personally guarantees ('my God') that every genuine need will be met, using emphatic future tense. This promise comes after the Philippians' generous gift to Paul, showing God's reciprocal care for those who give sacrificially. God's provision flows from his infinite heavenly resources, not earthly limitations. The phrase emphasizes abundance—God gives not from his riches but according to their full measure. Christ mediates all divine blessings, making this promise distinctly Christian rather than generic providence. Paul grounds material provision in spiritual reality, connecting daily needs to salvation's larger framework.
