And having food and clothing let us be with these things content.
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 6:8 Go To 1 Timothy 6
Lucius Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius
AD 320
Why, then, do you hesitate to lay that out well which perhaps a single robbery will snatch away from you, or a proscription suddenly arising, or the plundering of an enemy? Why do you fear to make a frail and perishable good everlasting, or to entrust your treasures to God as their preserver, in which case you need not fear thief and robber, nor rust, nor tyrant? He who is rich towards God can never be poor.
