Your lifestyle must be free from the love of money, being content with what you have. For he himself has said, “I will never desert you, and I will never abandon you.”[a] So then, we can say with confidence,

What will man do to me?”[c]

Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you; considering the outcome of their way of life[d], imitate their faith.
