1 Timothy 6:7

“For”: This explains the reasoning behind the previous verses.

1 Timothy 6:7 “We have brought nothing into the world”: Compare with Job 2:21; Psalms 49:17; Luke 12:15; Ecclesiastes 2:15. This statement should also remind us that since we brought nothing with us, the things that we have acquired in this life are temporary and are often acquired because of the kindness, help, and support of others, like parents, and without God's blessings of life, health, food, and so on, we could not have acquired anything. The word “nothing” in the above verse is emphatic, “not. thing” did we bring into this world.

1 Timothy 6:7 “So we cannot take anything out of it either”: Luke 12:20. All earthly possessions are only temporary, thus it is folly to hoard or become. miser. In addition, death will separate us from our possessions, and if all our contentment was wrapped up in our things, then death will bring an end to our contentment! One writer noted, “We can't take our money beyond the grave; and if we could, what would it be worth in. city where gold is used like blacktop to pave the street? (Revelation 21:21) (Orrin Root). Gaining material possessions then is only of temporary importance, and thus godliness should always take first place in our list of priorities. “Therefore, the few things we actually need while on earth need not unduly disturb the minds of godly people” (Kent p. 194). The above verse has its modern counter parts such as “There are no pockets in. shroud” and “You do not see. U Haul truck following the hearse”.
