1 Timothy 6:8
Douay-Rheims
But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.
Cyril of Jerusalem
For those who in appearance are rich, though they have many possessions, are yet poor in soul. The more they amass, the more they pine with longing for what they lack. But the believer, paradoxically, is rich even when poor. Knowing that we have need only of raiment and food and being content with these, he has trampled riches underfoot.
