Paul’s Attitude of Contentment (4:10–14)

Here Paul gives thanks for the Philippians’ concern for him. Their concern is closely related to the topic of 4:15–20—their generosity—for though 4:10 and 4:14 use verbs emphasizing concern and distress, 4:11–13 address Paul’s material situation, suggesting their concern has been demonstrated by giving.

4:12 Verse 12 continues Paul’s thought in 4:11, citing his experience as evidence that he is not simply looking for or rejoicing over material provision. With or without food, Paul is content.
