Autarkeia denotes having sufficiency in connection with piety and with provision for good work.

The two occurrences show sufficiency as a condition joined to piety in 1 Timothy 6:6 and as an all-encompassing provision enabling good work in 2 Corinthians 9:8.

1. Sufficiency joined to piety and provision · dominant

   In 1 Timothy 6:6, the genitive singular form occurs in the statement that piety with this quality is great gain; the APB renders the clause "piety with self-sufficiency is great gain." In 2 Corinthians 9:8, the accusative singular form stands within the purpose clause about having sufficiency in all things at all times so as to abound toward every good work; the APB renders "having all self-sufficiency you may abound toward every good work."

   1 Timothy 6:62 Corinthians 9:8

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "self-sufficiency" in both verses, once alongside piety and once within the statement about provision for every good work. This repeated wording confirms the verse-level presentation rather than isolating each grammatical contribution.
