11 But I will not say anything about my needs, for I am able, wherever I am, to be dependent on myself.

12 It is the same to me if I am looked down on or honoured; everywhere and in all things I have the secret of how to be full and how to go without food; how to have wealth and how to be in need.

13 I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

11 我并不是因为缺乏才这样说： 我已经学会了， 无论在什么情况之下都可以知足。

12 我知道怎样处卑贱， 也知道怎样处富裕； 我已经得了秘诀， 无论在任何情况之下， 或是饱足， 或是饥饿， 或是富裕， 或是缺乏， 都可以知足。

13 我靠着那加给我能力的， 凡事都能作。
