Philippians 4:10-13

English Standard Version (Chapter 4)

10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

This is not about sports....not about success. its about living in stress and abundance.

The Letter to the Philippians VIII. Thanks for Gifts from Partners (4:10–20)

This central focus on God transforms the transaction of giving and receiving among Christians from a human, horizontal exchange to a divine-human, triangular interaction. God initiates giving, empowers givers, supplies gifts, and meets needs. Participating in the activity of God by giving and receiving leads to rejoicing greatly in the Lord.

The Letter to the Philippians VIII. Thanks for Gifts from Partners (4:10–20)

The objects of his acquired knowledge are two infinitives: “to be humbled; to abound.” “To be humbled” means to lose prestige or status, to be humiliated, and to be subjected to strict discipline. This verb may be focusing on Paul’s own actions in regard to himself: he humbled himself and disciplined himself.
