6Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain.
7For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it.
8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.
...
17Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy.
18Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share,
19treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
— 1 Timothy 6:6-8,17-19
