Bible Verses about 'Content'

Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.Not that I am referring to being in need; for I have learned to be content with whatever I have.
Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.Of course, there is great gain in godliness combined with contentment.
After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.For we brought nothing into the world, so that we can take nothing out of it; but if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.
Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.”
That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.
Fools’ words get them into constant quarrels; they are asking for a beating.A fool's lips bring strife, and a fool's mouth invites a flogging.
Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!The lover of money will not be satisfied with money; nor the lover of wealth, with gain. This also is vanity.
The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth—except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!When goods increase, those who eat them increase; and what gain has their owner but to see them with his eyes?
I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.I know what it is to have little, and I know what it is to have 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.
Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise.By insolence the heedless make strife, but wisdom is with those who take advice.
And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God.Likewise all to whom God gives wealth and possessions and whom he enables to enjoy them, and to accept their lot and find enjoyment in their toil—this is the gift of God.
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
