¹¹ Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be ^(A)content.

⁶ But ^(A)godliness ^(B)with contentment is great gain, ⁷ for ^(C)we brought nothing into the world, and^[a] we cannot take anything out of the world. ⁸ But ^(D)if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. ⁹ But ^(E)those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, ^(F)into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that ^(G)plunge people into ruin and destruction.

⁵ Keep your life ^(A)free from love of money, and ^(B)be content with what you have, for he has said, ^(C)“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” ⁶ So we can confidently say,

³¹ Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For ^(A)the Gentiles seek after all these things, and ^(B)your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. ³³ But ^(C)seek first ^(D)the kingdom of God and his righteousness, ^(E)and all these things will be added to you.

^34 (F)“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

⁸ Indeed, I count everything as loss because of ^(A)the surpassing worth of ^(B)knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I ^(C)have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

⁸ And ^(A)God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency^[a] in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

^10 (A)as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; ^(B)as poor, yet making many rich; ^(C)as having nothing, ^(D)yet possessing everything.

¹¹ To the present hour ^(A)we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and ^(B)buffeted and ^(C)homeless, ¹² and we ^(D)labor, working with our own hands. ^(E)When reviled, we bless; ^(F)when persecuted, we endure;

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ^(A)though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
