John Chrysostom, on 1Tim 6:8

“But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.”

“And observe also their laws, how moderate and freed from all vainglory. Thus: "Having," says he, "food and covering, let us be content." Not like him of Sinope [Diogenes the Cynic], who clothed in rags and living in a cask to no good, astonished many but profited none. Paul did none of these things. For neither had he an eye to ostentation, but was both clothed in ordinary apparel with all decency, and lived in a house continually, and displayed all exactness in the practice of all other virtue. These things the cynic despised, living impurely and publicly disgracing himself, and dragged away by his mad passion for glory.”
