The verses around 1 Timothy 6:7.
5Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Verse explanation
Paul recalls a simple fact: no one is born with anything, and no one can carry anything out when he dies, a direct way of putting the importance of possessions into perspective.
From the 1 Timothy 6 study in Bible in Stories.
