But I rejoiced in the Lordgreatly, that now at last12you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lackedopportunity.
11
Not that I speakefrom want, for I have learned to be f13content in whatevercircumstances I am.
12
I knowhow to getalong with humblemeans, and I alsoknowhow to live in prosperity ; in any and everycircumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going14hungry, both of havingabundance and 15sufferingneed.
13
I candoallthingsgthrough Him who 16strengthens me.
14Nevertheless, you have donewell to 17share with me in my affliction.

1722Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the iprofit which increases to your account.
18
But I havereceivedeverything in full and have an abundance ; I am jamplysupplied, having received from 23Epaphrodituskwhat you have sent, l24a fragrantaroma, an acceptablesacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

And 25my God will supplymall your needsaccording to His 26riches in glory in ChristJesus.
