Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
BSB
ASV
I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me.
KJV
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I can do all things - From the experience which Paul had in these various circumstances of life, he comes here to the general conclusion that he could “do all things.” He could bear any trial, perform any duty, subdue any evil propensity of his nature, and meet all the temptations incident to any condition of prosperity or adversity. His own experience in the various changes of life had warranted him in arriving at this conclusion; and he now expresses the firm confidence that nothing would be required of him which he would not be able to perform.
We have need of strength from Christ, to enable us to perform not only those duties which are purely Christian, but even those which are the fruit of moral virtue.

My Brothers and Sisters, when Paul said these words, he meant them. Indeed, he had to a great measure already proved the strength of which he now asserts the promise! Have you ever thought how varied were the trials, and how innumerable the achievements of the Apostle Paul? Called by Grace in a sudden and miraculous manner, immediately— not consulting with flesh and blood—he essays to preach the Gospel he has newly received! Then he retires a little while, that he may more fully understand the Word of God.
