## in my difficulties ## "when things became difficult" ## gospel mission ## This refers to when Paul would travel to different cities to tell people about Jesus. ## no church had supported me in the matter of giving and receiving except you only ## "you were the only church that sent me money or helped me." ## I do seek the fruit that increases to your account ## Paul is comparing the church's gift to a person's wealth that increases more and more. Paul wants to see the Philippians to give gifts so they can receive spiritual blessings. Alternate translation: "I do want to see God give you more and more spiritual blessings."
