1 Timothy 6:5...supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But godliness WITH contentment is great gain.
We often have things backwards. We think worldly gain is godliness and we strive for this, hence our Christianity is only surface deep; and because it's only surface deep when the tempest of life blows against us we are uprooted and tossed by the winds. If you want to really gain in life you need to seek the kingdom of God FIRST. Seek after HIS righteousness. Seek after godliness. When you seek after godliness you WILL gain contentment. This is the sequence...Godliness first then contentment.
