5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, ^a“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”  ‡

^a“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?”  ‡

9 Do not be carried¹ about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.  ‡

10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.
