⁵ Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said,

⁸ So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.

¹¹ Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. ¹² I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. ¹³ For I can do everything through Christ,^[a] who gives me strength.

⁸ “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”

²¹ For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.

³¹ Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.

³² “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.

³² These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. ³³ Seek the Kingdom of God^[a] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
