Philippians 4:18
Douay-Rheims
But I have all, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things you sent, an odour of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
Their gifts, prompted by zeal and charity, were as a sweet odour from a sacrifice, or as the sacrifice itself, which God had formerly received from his an- cient people. " The Scripture did not hesitate to use in regard to God this human and lowly phrase, to show to men that their gifts were accepted." St. Chrysostom.
