What an interesting passage. Reminds me of Balaam.

Well, verse 6 is the main thought. Godliness with contentment is great gain. I don't see connection with Balaam.

"who think that godliness is a means to financial gain." I've just been studying how Balaam was tempted to get rich by cursing Israel, but I guess Balaam wasn't being godly. Nevermind. Maybe it doesn't relate.
