1 Timothy 6:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

OLBGrk;

Godliness, the exercise of a true faith in Christ, conjoined with a holy life, is a good revenue of itself, having in it autarkeiav, a self-sufficiency. He doth not here suppose that godliness can be separated from a contented frame of spirit with that lot which God hath chosen for us, for that cannot be; but as being always attended with a contentation of mind, in which alone lieth true riches, for such men never want enough. A good man, Solomon saith, is satisfied from himself, Proverbs 14:14; for which reason alone godliness is porismov megav, a great annual revenue.

1 Timothy 6:6

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
