我并非有缺乏才这样说，因为我已经学会在任何处境中都能知足。

我言此、非因缺乏之故、蓋我已學、隨遇而安、

我言此、非不足故也、以我之學、不論所遇、莫不自得、

我言此、非因缺乏之故也、蓋我已學、無論何遇、莫不知足、

此非予之寒酸語也蓋就予一己言之、實已修得隨遇而安、知足常樂之境。

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

I’m not saying this because I need anything. I have learned to be content no matter what happens to me.

Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.

Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.

I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I find myself.

Not that I speak from need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content.

I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am,[ therewith] to be content.

Now godliness combined with contentment brings great profit.For we have brought nothing into this world and so we cannot take a single thing out either.But if we have food and shelter, we will be satisfied with that.Those who long to be rich, however, stumble into temptation and a trap and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.

Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said,“ I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.”So we can say with confidence,“ The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

So then, don’t worry saying,‘ What will we eat?’ or‘ What will we drink?’ or‘ What will we wear?’For the unconverted pursue these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.But above all pursue his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.

More than that, I now regard all things as liabilities compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things– indeed, I regard them as dung!– that I may gain Christ,

And God is able to make all grace overflow to you so that because you have enough of everything in every way at all times, you will overflow in every good work.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that you by his poverty could become rich.

For in fact you shared the sufferings of those in prison, and you accepted the confiscation of your belongings with joy, because you knew that you certainly had a better and lasting possession.

as sorrowful, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads.We do hard work, toiling with our own hands. When we are verbally abused, we respond with a blessing, when persecuted, we endure,

in hard work and toil, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, many times without food, in cold and without enough clothing.

Then some soldiers also asked him,“ And as for us– what should we do?” He told them,“ Take money from no one by violence or by false accusation, and be content with your pay.”

Then Jacob made a vow, saying,“ If God is with me and protects me on this journey I am taking and gives me food to eat and clothing to wear,

Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.
