Vertically aligning text in a border

I have a text div which I put a border around. I want the text to be in the middle of the border, however I don't want to use the padding-top attribute. How would I do that?

If I understand correctly, you mean to have the content centred in a div with a border around it? If that's the case, why don't you just use flexbox?

div {
  display: flex;
  border: 2px solid #ccc;
}

.content {
  margin: auto;
}
