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 Kalbu tai ne todėl, kad stokoju, nes išmokau būti patenkintas savo būkle.

12 Esu patyręs ir skurdą, ir perteklių. Visa ko esu ragavęs: buvau sotus ir alkanas, turtingas ir beturtis.

13 Aš visa galiu Kristuje, kuris mane stiprina.
