N.T. Wright on Contextual Reading - Anglican (Philippians 4:13)
"Read Philippians 4:13 in context: Paul is talking about being content in any circumstance—having plenty or going hungry. The 'all things' aren't personal achievements but challenging circumstances. Christ gives strength to endure whatever comes, not power to get whatever we want." — N.T. Wright. Anglican scholarly reading: strength for endurance.
