    • 6:7

      neither can we carry anything out: The thought that Paul expresses in this verse was commonly repeated in various forms in the ancient Greco-Roman world. However, centuries earlier, King Solomon was inspired to write: “Just as one came from his mother’s womb, naked will he go away . . . And he cannot carry away anything for all his hard work.” (Ec 5:15; see also Job 1:21; Ps 49:17.) Jesus made a similar point in his illustration about the rich man. (Lu 12:16-21) Using this sobering truth, Paul urges Christians to avoid greed and materialism and instead seek lasting contentment by pursuing godly devotion.​—1Ti 6:6, 8-10.
