Read in context

Philippians 4:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.

11 I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.

12 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 Christ who gives me strength.

14 Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction.
