kon -tent ´, kon -tent´ment ( יעל , ya‛al ; ἀρκέω , arkéō ): 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 1 Timothy 6:8; Hebrews 13:5 . Contentment (1 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.
