Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μοι & ἐκοινώνησεν

˱with˲_me & shared

Here, shared with me means the Philippians helped Paul financially and in other practical ways. Alternate translation: [were partners with] or [helped me]

εἰς λόγον δόσεως καὶ λήμψεως

in ˓the˒_matter ˱of˲_giving and receiving

In the original language in which Paul wrote this letter, the phrase giving and receiving could refer either to exchanges that involved money or to exchanges that involved the giving and receiving of non-financial things that would benefit the other party. Here, the phrase giving and receiving may refer to both financial and non-financial gifts because the Philippians helped Paul by sending a gift of money via Epaphroditus, who also helped Paul in other ways. Alternate translation: [by sending money and help to me]
