uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

συνκοινωνήσαντές μου τῇ θλίψει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πλὴν καλῶς ἐποιήσατε συγκοινωνήσαντές μου τῇ θλίψει)

The phrase having shared together in my affliction means that the Philippian believers helped Paul while he was experiencing difficulties by giving him money and sending Epaphroditus to him. If it would help your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “by helping me in my affliction through your gift of money and sending Epaphroditus to me” or “by helping me when I faced difficult circumstances by sending Epaphroditus to encourage me and bring me your gift of money”
