1 Timothy 6:8 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. Having food and raiment, let us be therewith content - Αρκεσθησομεθα· Let us consider this a competency. And it is evident that the apostle considers this a competency, and by these words explains what he said 1 Timothy 6:6.

The word ακεπασματα, which we translate raiment, signifies covering in general; and here means house or lodging, as well as clothing.

1 Timothy 6:8
