1 Timothy 6:6-8 The Message (MSG)

A devout life does bring wealth, but it’s the rich simplicity of being yourself before God. Since we entered the world penniless and will leave it penniless, if we have bread on the table and shoes on our feet, that’s enough.

1 Timothy 6:6-7 King James Version (KJV)

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

1 Timothy 6:6-7 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either.

1 Timothy 6:6-7 New Century Version (NCV)

Serving God does make us very rich, if we are satisfied with what we have. We brought nothing into the world, so we can take nothing out.

1 Timothy 6:6-7 American Standard Version (ASV)

But godliness with contentment is great gain: for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out

1 Timothy 6:6-7 New International Version (NIV)

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.

1 Timothy 6:6-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

1 Timothy 6:6-7 Amplified Bible (AMP)

But godliness actually is a source of great gain when accompanied by contentment [that contentment which comes from a sense of inner confidence based on the sufficiency of God]. For we have brought nothing into the world, so [it is clear that] we cannot take anything out of it, either.

1 Timothy 6:6-7 New Living Translation (NLT)

Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. 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.

1 Timothy 6:6-7 The Passion Translation (TPT)

We have a “profit” that is greater than theirs—our holy awe of God! To have merely our necessities is to have enough. Isn’t it true that our hands were empty when we came into the world, and when we leave this world our hands will be empty again?

1 Timothy 6:6-7 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)

But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.
