1 Timothy 6:5-11
5
wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.
6
But godliness with contentment is great gain:
7
for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out;
8
but having food and covering we shall be therewith content.
9
But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.
10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
