I have learned to be discontent whatever the circumstances. —Philippians 4:11b RIV (Rodney International Version)
How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn’t have the chance to help me.

I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. —Philippians 4:10-12 NLT
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. —Philippians 4:13 NLT
