Let your conduct be without covetousness;
be content with such things as you have.
For JESUS Himself has said,
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5
Same verse in the Amplified version:
Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God]Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let you down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]
