10. In my life in union with the Lord it is a great joy to me that after so long a time you once more had the chance of showing that you care for me. I don't mean that you had stopped caring for me — you just had no chance to show it.
11. And I am not saying this because I feel neglected, for I have learnt to be satisfied with what I have.
12. I know what it is to be in need and what it is to have more than enough. I have learnt this secret, so that anywhere, at any time, I am content, whether I am full or hungry, whether I have too much or too little.
13. I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me.
