Philippians 4:12 Context
10But I reioyced in the Lorde greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished againe, wherein yee were also carefull, but ye lacked opportunitie. 11Not that I speake in respect of want: for I haue learned in whatsoeuer state I am, therewith to bee content. 12I know both how to bee abased, and I knowe how to abound: euerie where, and in all things I am instructed, both to bee full, and to bee hungrie, both to abound, and to suffer need. 13I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me. 14Notwithstanding, yee haue well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
