1 Timothy 6:8 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

And, х De (G1161)] - 'But.' In contrast to greedy gain-seekers (1 Timothy 6:5).

Having - so long as we have.

Food, х diatrofas (G1305)] - food sufficient continually supplied for our wants: we, as believers, shall have this.

Raiment, х skepasmata (G4629)] - 'covering;' perhaps including a roof to cover us, as well as clothing.

Let us be therewith content - we shall be sufficiently provided [arkesthesometha].

1 Timothy 6:8

8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
