12. I have da'as both to be humbled in anavah and I have da'as how to abound in everything. And in all things I have learned what is nistar (concealed, hidden, unseen), I have learned the secret of being filled and having hunger, of abounding and having lack.

16. Indeed in Thessalonica both once and again you sent to my machsor (shortage).
17. Not that I seek the matanah (gift), but I seek the p'ri increasing to your account [1C 9:11].
