1 Timothy 6:7
Douay-Rheims
For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
For--confirming the reasonableness of "contentment." and it is certain--Vulgate and other old versions support this reading. The oldest manuscripts, however, omit "and it is certain"; then the translation will be, "We brought nothing into the world (to teach us to remember) that neither can we carry anything out" (Job 1:21; Ecc 5:15). Therefore, we should have no gain-seeking anxiety, the breeder of discontent (Mat 6:25).
