“I have learned, in whatever circumstances I am, to be self-sufficient [or, content].

(Phil. 4:11-13) Notice that Paul’s contentment was constant. He did not reason, ‘I will be content when I have riches, a position or prominence or the like.’ His contentment was based on his relationship to Jehovah God and Jesus Christ, knowing them and being known by them. This is the only dependable basis for contentment.
