And when he had spent everything, there arose a great famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

Moreover, brethren, I want not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

Moreover, brethren, we want you to know of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

And when I was present with you, and in want, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, to be content.
