A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE PHILLIPIANS (FIRST READER ONLY)

For me to live, is Christ/

And even death is profitable for me./

I desire greatly to leave this life and to be with Christ/

But if I am to go on living, I shall enjoy fruitful labour./

I have learned to be content with whatever I have,/

I know what it is to have little,/

And I know what it is to have plenty./

In any and all circumstances/

I have learned the secret of being well fed, and of going hungry./

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me./
