敬虔知足

提摩太前書 6:6-11 
然而,敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了; 因為我們沒有帶甚麼到世上來,也不能帶甚麼去。 只要有衣有食,就當知足。 但那些想要發財的人,就陷在迷惑、落在網羅和許多無知有害的私慾裏,叫人沉在敗壞和滅亡中。 貪財是萬惡之根。有人貪戀錢財,就被引誘離了真道,用許多愁苦把自己刺透了。  但你這屬神的人要逃避這些事,追求公義、敬虔、信心、愛心、忍耐、溫柔。

1 Timothy 6:6-11
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.   But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
