The meaning of Content; Contentment in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

kon-tent', kon-tent'-ment (ya'al; arkeo): To be free from care because of satisfaction with what is already one's own. The Hebrew means simply "to be pleased." The Greek brings out the full force of the word in I Timothy 6:8; Hebrews 13:5. Contentment (I Timothy 6:6) is more inward than satisfaction; the former is a habit or permanent state of mind, the latter has to do with some particular occurrence or object.
