📖 Philippians 4:11
I'm not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am in.
Clarification: This verse is saying that the person speaking is not asking for anything because they have learned to be happy and satisfied no matter what situation they are in. They are saying that they have found peace and contentment regardless of their circumstances.
