Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

Philippians 4:18

But honestly, I have everything I need and more — I'm completely set. Epaphroditus brought me all the things you sent, and it's like the sweetest fragrance to God. Your generosity is the kind of sacrifice that makes him smile.

You put everything under his control — literally everything. When it says 'everything,' it means nothing was left out. But honestly? Right now we don't see everything under his authority yet.

Your tongue is literally like fire — it's a whole universe of damage waiting to happen. It's this one small part of you, but it can mess up your entire life and everything around you. It ignites destruction that spreads way beyond what you ever intended, and honestly? That destructive power comes from the darkest places.
