11. Not that I speak as regards privation, for as to me I have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself.
12. I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation.
13. I have strength for all things in him that gives me power.
14. But ye have done well in taking part in my affliction.
15. And know also ye, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I came out of Macedonia, no assembly communicated anything to me in the way of giving and receiving save ye alone;
16. for also in Thessalonica once and even twice ye sent to me for my need.
17. Not that I seek gift, but I seek fruit abounding to your account.
18. But I have all things in full supply and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things sent from you, an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to God.
