Contentamento
12 I know both how to live in humble circumstances and how to live amid abundance. I am fully initiated into all the mysteries both of fulness and of hunger, of abundance and of want.
6 And godliness is gain, when associated with contentment;
11 I do not refer to this through fear of privation, for (for my part) I have learned, whatever be my outward experiences, to be content.
15 And to the people He said, »Take care, be on your guard against all covetousness, for no one's life consists in the superabundance of his possessions.«
10 In fact I take pleasure in infirmities, in the bearing of insults, in distress, in persecutions, in grievous difficulties–for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
7 for we brought nothing into the world, nor can we carry anything out of it;
8 and if we have food and clothing, with these we will be satisfied.
25 For this reason I charge you not to be over-anxious about your lives, inquiring what you are to eat or what you are to drink, nor yet about your bodies, inquiring what clothes you are to put on. Is not the life more precious than its food, and the body than its clothing?
5 Your lives should be untainted by love for money. Be content with what you have; for God Himself has said, »I will never, never let go your hand: I will never never forsake you.«
8 »Master,« said Philip, »cause us to see the Father: that is all we need.«
16 Have full sympathy with one another. Do not give your mind to high things, but let humble ways content you. Do not be wise in your own conceits.
