For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

For unto Thessalonica also you sent once and again for my use.

for also in Thessalonica once and even twice ye sent to me for my need.

because also in Thessalonica, both once and again to my need ye sent;

because even in Thessalonica you sent several times to minister to my needs.

For you even sent to Thessalonica, once, and then a second time, for what was useful to me.

Indeed, even while I was still in Thessalonica, you sent more than once to relieve my wants.

Nam et Tessalonicam semel atque iterum mihi, quod opus erat, misistis:

For even in Thessalonica; - see the notes, Acts 17:1. Paul remained there long enough to establish a flourishing church. He met, indeed, with much opposition and persecution there; and, hence, it was necessary that his wants should be supplied by others.

For even in Thessalonica - While labouring to plant the Church there, he was supported partly by working with his hands, 1-Thessalonians 2:9; 2-Thessalonians 3:7-9; and partly by the contributions sent him from Philippi. Even the Thessalonians had contributed little to his maintenance: this is not spoken to their credit.

For even in Thessalonica,.... When the apostle was there; for from Philippi he went to Thessalonica; see Acts 17:1,
ye sent once and again unto my necessity; for his use and service, to support him while he was at that place, and relieve and assist him in his necessities; for the people at Thessalonica were either not able to communicate, or were not of a beneficent disposition, or the apostle did not care to be chargeable to them; and they seem many of them to have been idle and lazy, and therefore he wrought among them with his own hands to set them an example; and the Philippians hearing and knowing that this was the case, sent frequently, while he was here, some of the brethren with gifts unto him.

even in Thessalonica--"even" as early as when I had got no further than Thessalonica, ye sent me supplies for my necessities more than once.
