6:6Now godliness combined with contentment brings great profit. 6:7For we have brought nothing into this world and so10 we cannot take a single thing out either. 6:8But if we have food and shelter, we will be satisfied with that.11
Footnotes
- 10 The Greek conjunction ὅτι usually means “because,” but here it takes the sense “so that” (see 5.c). This unusual sense led to textual variation as scribes attempted to correct what appeared to be an error: D* and a few versional witnesses read ἀληθές ὅτι (“it is true that”), and א2 D2 Ψ 𝔐 read δῆλον ὅτι (“it is clear that”). Thus the simple conjunction is preferred on internal as well as external grounds, supported by א* A F G 33 81 1739 1881 .
- 11 Grk “with these.”

Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.
