Paul wrote to the Philippian's to show his gratitude and appreciation for their concern for his welfare. He said that even when he was in Thessalonica, they had repeatedly sent him gift.

Paul gave them his blessings by saying that "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus". Philippians 4:14-20
