Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you… On the eve of General Gordon's departure on his last journey, a friend is related to have said to him, "Have you got your kit ready, General?" "I have got what I always have. This hat is good enough, and so are these clothes. I shall start as I am, my boots are quite strong." "And how are you off for cash, &c.? You must have some ready money." "Ah, I had forgot that; I had to borrow five-and-twenty pounds from the King of the Belgians to get over here. Of course I must pay this, and I shall want a little more. A hundred pounds apiece for myself and Stewart will be enough. What on earth do we want more for?" Parallel Verses KJV: Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. |
