Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
