This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Php 4:11. Καθʼ ὑστέρησιν) in respect of want.-ἐγὼ, I) in so much adversity.-ἔμαθον) I have learned, from on high, Heb 5:8. There is a direct Chiasmus in the four words, I have learned, I know, I am instructed, I am able. The phrase I am instructed is added (as an expansion of the idea) to I have learned; I am able, to I know. Often words referring to the understanding infer also power in the will.-ἐν οἷς εἰμὶ) in what circumstances I am, in my present state, Heb 13:5.-αὐτάρκης) content.
