Philippians 4:10-23
vs 10-13 Paul rejoices greatly in the Lord because he has learned to be content in all circumstances. Whether lacking or in plenty, whether hungry or full, he can do "all things through Chris who strengthens me." But it is only because of the strength Christ gives him. Paul can accomplish nothing on his own.
vs 14-19 Paul shows his thanks for the Philippians for being the first church to give to him and the ministry and reassures them that God will meet their needs.
vs 20 Amen
vs 21-23 closing of the letter to Philippi.
