OET-LV But the god of_me will_be_filling all the_need of_you_all, according_to the riches of_him in glory in chosen_one/messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa).
OET (OET-RV) My God will meet all of your needs from his riches in heaven in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus)—
Paul now began to write about the gift that the Philippians had sent him. He reminded them that when he had been preaching the gospel in their area, they were the only group of believers that had sent gifts to him. He made it clear that Christ enabled him to be content in every situation. But their loving gift made him very happy. He also said that God would also supply all they needed. This should cause God’s people to praise him.
Paul told the Philippians that he had received the generous gift they had sent to him with Epaphroditus. He told them that God would also supply what they needed.
And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
And my God will give you everything you need from out of his abundant wealth/resources because of what Christ Jesus has done.
And because of what Christ Jesus has done, God, whom I worship, is able to supply all that you need, and he will do this.
The Philippian believers had given Paul what he needed. And here Paul said that God would also give them what they needed.
my God: This means “the God whom I worship and serve.” It refers to the God that Paul belonged to. It does not mean that God belonged to Paul.
will supply all your needs: Paul said that God would provide/supply everything that the Philippians needed.
according to: This expresses the relationship between God’s riches and the Philippians’ needs. God’s riches are sufficient for meeting every need.
glorious: The Greek expression en doxē that the BSB has translated glorious literally means “in glory.” There are three main ways to interpret this phrase here:
It relates to the word “riches.” In this case, it means “his glorious riches” or “his abundant wealth”. (BSB, NIV, GNT, NCV, CEV, NLT, REB)
It relates to the verb that the BSB translated “will supply.” In this case, it would mean:
God will gloriously [that is, abundantly, completely] supply everything you need (GW)
It has its literal meaning and refers to a location “in glory”. (RSV, KJV, NASB)
It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).
riches: The word riches in this verse refers to God’s power or ability to supply all that people need physically and spiritually. It is not limited to money or material things.
in Christ Jesus: There are two ways to interpret this phrase here:
It means “through Christ Jesus,” that is, because of what Jesus has done for them. (GW, GNT, CEV)
It means because the Philippians belong to Jesus.
Most English versions translate the phrase literally. The Greek probably implies both meanings. It was because of what Jesus had done for them that the Philippian believers belonged to him. And this is why God had a way to supply so abundantly what they needed.
You could translate 4:19 something like the following:
And God, whom I serve, will give you everything you need according to his wonderful and unlimited riches because of what Christ Jesus has done for you.
In some languages it will be helpful to reorder this verse. One way to do this would be:
Moreover, God, whom I serve, has an unlimited supply of everything that we(incl) need. And as a result, he will completely supply everything that you need because Christ Jesus has died for us(incl). (SSA)
