Let your conduct be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said,
I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
All Commentaries on Hebrews 13:5 Go To Hebrews 13
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Let your conversation be without covetousness, he says. He did not say, Possess nothing, but, Let your conversation be without covetousness: that is, let it show forth the philosophical character of your mind. [And it will show it, if we do not seek superfluities, if we keep only to what is necessary.] For he says above also, And ye took joyfully the spoiling of your goods. Hebrews 10:34 He gives these exhortations, that they might not be covetous.
