Philippians 4:13
I can do all things—Greek, "I have strength for all things"; not merely "how to be abased and how to abound." After special instances he declares his universal power—how triumphantly, yet how humbly! [MEYER].
through Christ which strengtheneth me—The oldest manuscripts omit "Christ"; then translate, "In Him who giveth me power," that is, by virtue of my living union and identification with Him, who is my strength (Galatians 2:20). Compare I Timothy 1:12, whence probably, "Christ" was inserted here by transcribers.
