But godliness with contentment is great gain. |
But godliness actually is a means of great gain, when accompanied by contentment. |
But godliness with contentment is great gain. |
[And it is, indeed, a source of immense profit, for] godliness accompanied with contentment (that contentment which is a sense of inward self-sufficiency) is great and abundant gain. |
But godly piety associated with an inward self-sufficiency which is its natural accompaniment is great gain. |
There is a real profit, of course. It is peace of heart for those who live as God would have them live. |
Now the fact is, religion with contentment is a means of great gain. |
