11 I'm not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance.
I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.

I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need.
13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

14 Still, you have done well to share my hardship.

I have all I need and more, now that I have received your gifts from Epaphroditus. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
19 And my God will supply all your needs according to his glorious riches in Messiah Yeshua.

To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
