Php 4:18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice (Thysia) acceptable, well pleasing to God. Obviously, Paul thinks the incense is a substitute for the slaughtered offering (see Leviticus 7), and uses the word thysia. It was the burnt sacrifice, the smell of the victim's flesh that is allegedly "pleasing" to God.

Obviously. It was Paul’s heathen passions for burning flesh welling up inside to make that statement.
