But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all. You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.
—Philippians 2:17–18
Though only Paul labored initially, eventually the whole church in Philippi also served. As they sacrificed, Paul poured himself out further upon their sacrifice.
