menu_book Verse in Context

9 Do the things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me, 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 learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
