箴言 30:15
"The leech has two daughters. 'Give! Give!' they cry. "There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, 'Enough!':
螞蟥有兩個女兒,常說:給呀,給呀!有三樣不知足的,連不說「夠的」共有四樣:
腓立比書 4:12
- 13
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
我知道怎樣處卑賤,也知道怎樣處豐富;或飽足,或飢餓;或有餘,或缺乏,隨事隨在,我都得了秘訣。
我靠著那加給我力量的,凡事都能做。
希伯來書 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
你們存心不可貪愛錢財,要以自己所有的為足;因為主曾說:『我總不撇下你,也不丟棄你。』
提摩太前書 6:6
- 8
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
然而,敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了;
因為我們沒有帶什麼到世上來,也不能帶什麼去。
只要有衣有食,就當知足。
箴言 30:8
- 9
Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.
Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the Lord?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
求你使虛假和謊言遠離我;使我也不貧窮也不富足;賜給我需用的飲食,
恐怕我飽足不認你,說:耶和華是誰呢?又恐怕我貧窮就偷竊,以致褻瀆我神的名。
