⁴ You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

² And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God.

¹⁹ And my God will give you all you have need of from the wealth of his glory in Christ Jesus.

¹³ I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

⁷ For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you.

⁷ For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.

¹ <Of David.> The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me?

⁷ Putting all your troubles on him, for he takes care of you.

¹¹ But I will not say anything about my needs, for I am able, wherever I am, to be dependent on myself.

¹² It is the same to me if I am looked down on or honoured; everywhere and in all things I have the secret of how to be full and how to go without food; how to have wealth and how to be in need.

¹³ I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

¹⁴ But you did well to have care for me in my need.
