lack

⁹For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that through his poverty, you might become rich.

¹¹The rich have been needy and hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good thing.

⁸And God is able to make every grace abound in you, so that, always having what you need in all things, you may abound unto every good work,

⁵Let your behavior be without avarice; be content with what you are offered. For he himself has said, “I will not abandon you, and I will not neglect you.”

¹⁰Fear the Lord, all you his saints. For there is no destitution for those who fear him. ¹¹The rich have been needy and hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good thing.

³The Lord will not afflict with famine the soul of the just, and he will overthrow the treacheries of the impious.

³⁵“When I sent you without money or provisions or shoes, did you lack anything?”

¹⁹And may my God fulfill all your desires, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

³³Therefore, seek first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you as well.

¹⁵So if a brother or sister is naked and daily in need of food, ¹⁶and if anyone of you were to say to them: “Go in peace, keep warm and nourished,” and yet not give them the things that are necessary for the body, of what benefit is this?

¹²I know how to be humbled, and I know how to abound. I am prepared for anything, anywhere: either to be full or to be hungry, either to have abundance or to endure scarcity.

⁴and patience brings a work to perfection, so that you may be perfect and whole, deficient in nothing.

¹A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me.

⁶But piety with sufficiency is great gain. ⁷For we brought nothing into this world, and there is no doubt that we can take nothing away. ⁸But, having nourishment and some kind of covering, we should be content with these.

²²And he said to his disciples: “And so I say to you: Do not choose to be anxious about your life, as to what you may eat, nor about your body, as to what you will wear. ²³Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. ²⁴Consider the ravens. For they neither sow nor reap; there is no storehouse or barn for them. And yet God pastures them. How much more are you, compared to them?

¹⁰Then, too, while we were with you, we insisted on this to you: that if anyone was not willing to work, neither should he eat.

³¹Therefore, do not choose to be anxious, saying: ‘What shall we eat, and what shall we drink, and with what shall we be clothed?’ ³²For the Gentiles seek all these things. Yet your Father knows that you need all these things. ³³Therefore, seek first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you as well.

¹¹I am not saying this as if out of need. For I have learned that, in whatever state I am, it is sufficient. ¹²I know how to be humbled, and I know how to abound. I am prepared for anything, anywhere: either to be full or to be hungry, either to have abundance or to endure scarcity. ¹³Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.

⁸But, having nourishment and some kind of covering, we should be content with these.
