Bible Verses about 'Content'

I do not say this because I have been in need, for I have learned to be content with whatever I have.Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Godliness produces great gain, but only to those who are content.But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take nothing out. If we have food and clothing, let us be content with these.For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
Do not succumb to the love of money, but be content with what you have, for God has said, “I will never forsake you or abandon you.”Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
One who is covetous will never be satisfied with money, nor will the lover of wealth be content with gain. This too is vanity.He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
When riches increase, so do those who are eager to accumulate them, and those who have accumulated them must remain content simply to feast their eyes on them.When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
For this reason, I rejoice when I endure weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and distress for the sake of Christ. For it is when I am weak that I am strong.Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
The lips of a fool cause strife, and his mouth provokes a flogging.A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
Moreover, the one to whom God grants wealth and possessions and the ability to enjoy them and to find contentment in his toil receives a gift from God.Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
I know how to live with little, and I know how to live with plenty. In any and all circumstances, I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry, of having plenty and of being in need.I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
An ignorant man causes strife by his insolence, but wisdom is found with those who take advice.Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you previously, that no one who does such things will inherit the kingdom of God.Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
