"But piety with sufficiency is great gain. "
— 1 Timothy 6:6, Catholic Public Domain Version
“But godliness with contentment is great gain.”
“But godliness with contentment is great gain: ”
“But godliness with contentment is great gain.”
“Now godliness combined with contentment brings great profit.”
“But godliness with contentment is great gain.”
“But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:”
“But godliness with contentment is great gain.”
If anyone teaches otherwise, and does not consent to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is in accord with piety,
then he is arrogant, knowing nothing, yet languishing amid the questions and quarrels of words. From these arise envy, contention, blasphemy, evil suspicions:
the conflicts of men who have been corrupted in mind and deprived of truth, who consider profit to be piety.
But piety with sufficiency is great gain.
For we brought nothing into this world, and there is no doubt that we can take nothing away.
But, having nourishment and some kind of covering, we should be content with these.
For those who want to become rich fall into temptation and into the snare of the devil and into many useless and harmful desires, which submerge men in destruction and in perdition.
