Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:10

Πάντες τε ἐταπεινοφρονεῖτε μηδὲν ἀλαζονευόμενοι, ὑποτασσόμενοι μᾶλλον ἢ ὑποτάσσοντες, ἥδιον διδόντες ἢ λαμβάνοντες. τοῖς ἐφοδίοις τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἀρκούμενοι, καὶ προσέχοντες τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ ἐπιμελῶς ἐνεστερνισμένοι ἦτε τοῖς σπλάγχνοις, καὶ τὰ παθήματα αὐτοῦ ἦν πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν ὑμῶν.

English · Claude translation

And you were all humble-minded, not boasting at all, submitting rather than demanding submission, giving more gladly than receiving. Content with the provisions Christ gives, and heeding his words, you stored them up carefully in your hearts, and his sufferings were before your eyes.
