King James Bible
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
Paul declares his ability to handle any circumstance—whether abundance or need, as the surrounding context shows. This is not about superhuman achievements but about enduring all situations with contentment, a radical claim for someone writing from prison. The source of Paul's adaptability is Christ's empowering presence, not personal willpower or stoic philosophy. The present tense 'strengtheneth' emphasizes ongoing divine enablement, making this verse about spiritual sufficiency rather than worldly success.
