11 Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in
whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know how to get along with humble means,
and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every
circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and
going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. 13 I can
do all things through Him who strengthens me

EVIDENCE OF AN ABUNDANT LIFE
7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things,
and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through
faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of
faith, 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His
sufferings, being conformed to His death; 11in order that I may attain to the
resurrection from the dead Paul The Apostle (Philippians 3:7-9, NASB)
