Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. We have here an account of Paul's learning, not that which he got at the feet of Gamaliel, but that which he got at the feet of Christ. He had learnt to be content; and that was the lesson he had as much need to learn as most men, considering the hardships and sufferings with which he was exercised.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

I have learned--The I in Greek is emphatical. I leave it to others if they will, to be discontented.
