11 I am not saying this because of being in need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.
12 I know how to get along in humble circumstances and how to live in prosperity. In every situation and in all circumstances, I have learned the secret both to be full and to be hungry, both to have plenty and to be in need.
13 I can do everything through Christ, who gives me the strength.
