10I greatly rejoice in the Lord because now at last you have renewed your concern for me. You had indeed been concerned for me before, but there was no opportunity for you to help.
11I am not saying this because I am in need. For I have learned to be content in all circumstances.
12I know what it is to be poor, and I also know what it is to have plenty. In every way and in all things I have learned the secret of how to be well-fed or to be hungry, and how to have an abundance or to be in need.
13I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
14However, you did well to share with me in my difficulties.
