Contentment / Patience
Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. Proverbs 23:17-18
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11
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. Hebrews 13:5
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome
words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to
godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words,
whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of
corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such
withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. 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. 1st Timothy 6:3-8
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we
faint not. Galatians 6:9
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing
this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her
perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James
1:2-4
