Contentamento

12 I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation.


20 And Job rose up, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped;

21 and he said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!


6 But piety with contentment *is* great gain.


11 Not that I speak as regards privation, for as to me *I* have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself.


15 And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for {it is} not because a man is in abundance {that} his life is in his possessions.


10 Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in straits, for Christ: for when I am weak, then I am powerful.


7 For we have brought nothing into the world: {it is} {manifest} that neither can we carry anything out.

8 But having sustenance and covering, we will be content with these.


25 For this cause I say unto you, Do not be careful about your life, what ye should eat and what ye should drink; nor for your body what ye should put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?


5 {Let your} conversation {be} without love of money, satisfied with {your} present circumstances; for *he* has said, I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.


8 Philip says to him, Lord, shew us the Father and it suffices us.


16 Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes:


8 Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues without right.
