Proverbs 16:8
New King James Version
8 (A)Better is a little with righteousness,
Than vast revenues without justice.
Proverbs 15:16
New King James Version
16 (A)Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble.
Psalm 37:16
New King James Version
16 (A)A little that a righteous man has
Is better than the riches of many wicked.
1 Timothy 6:6-9
New King James Version
6 Now godliness with (A)contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, [a]and it is (B)certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be (C)content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
