Philippians 4:11

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.

Darby Translation

In The King James Version

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

In Context

12I 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.
