This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And - Greek, “But.” In contrast to the greedy gain-seekers (1Ti 6:5).
having - so long as we have food. (The Greek expresses “food sufficient in each case for our continually recurring wants” [Alford]). It is implied that we, as believers, shall have this (Isa 23:16).
raiment - Greek, “covering”; according to some including a roof to cover us, that is, a dwelling, as well as clothing.
let us be therewith content - literally, “we shall be sufficiently provided”; “we shall be sufficed” [Alford].
