Philippians 4:12

I know (have seen/understood) how to live simply (Gk. tapeinoo) [in humiliating low standards].
I know (have seen/understood) what it is like to live in abundance (literally: to overflow) –
through everything, and through all (in everything and in all) circumstances, I have learned (been initiated into) the secret – to be full
or hungry (to hunger),
to have abundance (to overflow)
or to suffer deprivation (Gk. hustereo).
[Verses 11-12 are framed by contrasts that deal with being content regardless of circumstances. The order of the contrasts is first simple/abundance (towards the center) and then reversed to satisfied/hungry and abundance/lack. Paul borrows a verb and an expression from the initiation rites of pagan mysteries of the time, namely Gk. mueo, which comes from the word for mystery and secret teaching/doctrine (Gk. mysterion). Through his experiences, he has been trained, educated, and initiated into this "mystery" of being able to find himself in different circumstances and at the same time be grounded in contentment, trust, and gratitude to the Lord who provides.]
