## Philippians 4:12-13 in Context (Verses 9–16 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/philippians/4/9) Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/philippians/4/10) But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/philippians/4/11) Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, *therewith* to be content.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/philippians/4/12) I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/philippians/4/13) I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/philippians/4/14) Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/philippians/4/15) Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/philippians/4/16) For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
 
[Philippians 3](/kjv/philippians/3) [Colossians 1](/kjv/colossians/1)
