Inner Wealth and Godly Contentment

1 Timothy 6:3-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Timothy 6 in context

Scripture Focus

3If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
1 Timothy 6:3-8

Biblical Context

Paul warns that those who teach otherwise and chase disputes are to be avoided; true gain is godliness with contentment, for we bring nothing into the world and can carry nothing out. With food and clothing, contentment is enough.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened, you are not chasing external wealth but waking to the one steady state of awareness that you are God’s I AM. When the apostle speaks of wholesome words and the doctrine that is according to godliness, he points to the inner alignment that makes life flow. The notion that gain equals godliness belongs to a mind pretending to be separate from provision; such minds are corrupt in the sense of lacking truth. Yet the command is clear: withdraw thyself from such disputes and turn toward the simple truth that godliness with contentment is great gain. You brought nothing into the world, and you can carry nothing out; therefore your sense of worth is not measured in possessions but in a stable inner state. In practice, rest your attention in the I AM, affirm that your food and raiment are supplied by the ever-present Source, and let abundance follow as a natural expression of that alignment. Envy, strife, and evil surmisings fade when you dwell in this one reality, and true wealth emerges as inner harmony with life.

Practice This Now

Assume now the feeling that godliness with contentment is your great gain. Sit, breathe, and repeat 'Godliness with contentment is my great gain,' then imagine the I AM sustaining you with inner provision in every moment.
