我靠主大大地喜乐,因为你们思念我的心如今又发生;你们向来思念我,只是没得机会.我并不是因缺乏说这话,我无论在什么景况都可以知足,这是我已经学会了.我知道怎样处卑贱,也知道怎样处丰富,或饱足、或饥饿、或有余、或缺乏,随事随在,我都得了秘诀。我靠着那加给我力量的,凡事都能作。
I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at last you have revived your concern for me;indeed,you were concerned for me,but had no opportunity to show it.Not that i am referring to being in need;for i have learned to be content with whatever i have.i know what it is to have little,and i know what it is to have plenty.In any and all circumstances i have learned the secret of being well-fed and of going hungry,of having plenty and of being in need.I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
