Paul’s Thanks for Their Gifts

10 How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn’t have the chance to help me. 11 Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13 For I can do everything through Christ,[a] who gives me strength.

The Philippians’ Gifts

10 Now I rejoice in the Lord greatly, because once again you have shown your concern for me.

In each and every situation I have learned the secret of being full and of going hungry, of having too much and of having too little. 13 I can do all things through him[b] who strengthens me.
