Philippians 4:10-13

Expanded Bible

Paul Thanks the Christians

¹⁰ I ·am very happy [^Lrejoiced greatly] in the Lord that you have ·shown [renewed; revived] your ·care [concern] for me again. You continued to ·care [be concerned] about me, but ·there was no way for you [you had no opportunity] to show it. ¹¹ I am not telling you this because I need anything. [^LFor] I have learned to be ·satisfied [content] ·whatever the circumstances [or with whatever I have]. ¹² I know how to live when I am ·poor [in humble circumstances], and I know how to live when I have plenty. I have learned the ·secret of being happy [^Lsecret] ·at any time in everything that happens [or in any and all circumstances], when I have enough to eat and when I go hungry, when I have ·more than I need [plenty; an abundance] and when I do not have enough. ¹³ I can do all things through ·Christ, because he [^Lthe one who] gives me strength.
