I have received full payment and even more In this opening phrase, Paul expresses his gratitude and contentment. The Greek word for "received" is "ἀπέχω" (apechō), which implies having received in full or having been paid in full. This term is often used in financial contexts, suggesting that Paul feels completely satisfied with the support he has received from the Philippians. Historically, this reflects the practice of patrons and clients in the Greco-Roman world, where gifts and support were part of maintaining relationships. Paul’s use of this term underscores the completeness of the Philippians' generosity and his own contentment. I am amply supplied now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent They are a fragrant offering an acceptable sacrifice pleasing to God An odour of a sweet smell.--See Ephesians 5:2, and Note there. Here St. Paul adds at once an explanation of the meaning of this metaphorical phrase, in the words, "a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God." Comp. Romans 12:2, "a sacrifice holy, acceptable to God." The word "sacrifice" used in both cases is the one which properly signifies a "bloody sacrifice," and in relation to such sacrifices the idea of propitiation naturally occurs to our minds; since we know that "without shedding of blood is no remission." But it is clear that here it belongs to the class of Eucharistic or free-will offerings; for it is simply an offering made freely, in grateful love to God and man; and exactly in this sense we find, in Hebrews 13:16 (in close connection with "we have an altar"), "To do good, and to communicate forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." In the Epistle to the Romans it is, on the other hand, used for that which the burnt offering typified--the absolute self-dedication of the sacrificer, body and soul, to God. (See Note on Romans 12:2.) To 1Peter 2:5, where all Christians are called "a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God in Jesus Christ," both senses may be fairly applied. It may be noted that most superstitions in the Church as to the spiritual value of either of these forms of sacrifice, have come from confusion between them and the true or propitiatory sacrifice. . . . Verse 18. - But I have all, and abound: am full. I have to the full all that I need, and more. (For the word ἀπέχω, comp. Matthew 6:2, 5, 16, and Luke 6:24.)

He uses another metaphor: in ver. 17 the gift was fruit, now it is a sacrifice: given to the servant of God, it is in truth offered to God himself. "How high does he lift their gift!" says Chrysostom; "it is not I, he says, who have received it, but God through me." The words, ὀσμὴ εὐωδίας, an odour of sweet smell, occur often in the Old Testament in connection with sacrifice (see Genesis 8:21; Exodus 29:18; also for the metaphor, Ephesians 5:2). in Hebrews 13:16 almsgiving is also described as a sacrifice with which God is well pleased. The first and chiefest offering we can make is ourselves: "We offer and present unto thee, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies" (comp. Romans 12:1); in that chief offering is involved the lesser gift of alms.Parallel Commentaries ...
