However, I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother, and fellow-laborer, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger, who ministred to my wants:

Not that I speak on account of want; for I have learnt in whatever circumstances I am, to be contented.

I know both how to be abased, and how to abound: in every place, and in all conditions I am instructed, both to be full and to be hungry, to abound and to be in want.

For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again to supply my wants.

And my God will supply all your wants, according to his riches, in glory, by Christ Jesus.
