The verses around Philippians 4:13.
11Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
14Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
15Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
Verse explanation
Taken out of context, this verse tends to become a promise of success in any area of life, but the surrounding verses show what Paul is actually talking about: learning to live in both poverty and plenty, with the same contentment. It’s a verse about enduring hard conditions, not about achieving any goal you want.
From the Philippians 4 study in Bible in Stories.
