← Philippians 4:11	Philippians 4:12 (KJV)	Philippians 4:13 →
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.	I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.	I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
