Verse 8
‘But having food and covering we will be content with those.’
Thus Christians are satisfied when God provides their food, clothing and shelter (compare Matthew 6:25-34) which they receive with thanksgiving (1 Timothy 4:4). And with that they are content, for they want to spend their whole lives in pleasing God in accordance with Jesus’ teaching, and in bringing men to Christ and building them up in Christ. Here is the test of true religion. Paul was only asking them to experience what he had experienced himself (Philippians 4:10-13).
