9. The things which you learnt, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
10. But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.
11. Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learnt in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
12. I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learnt the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.
13. I can do all things through Messiah, who strengthens me.
14. However you did well that you shared in my affliction.
