11 Not that I speak as regards privation, for as to me *I* have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself.

12 I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation.

13 I have strength for all things in him that gives me power.

11 Não é minha penúria que me faz falar. Aprendi a contentar-me com o que tenho.

12 Sei viver na penúria, e sei também viver na abundância. Estou acostumado a todas as vicissitudes: a ter fartura e a passar fome, a ter abundância e a padecer necessidade.

13 Tudo posso naquele que me conforta.
