1 Timothy 6:3-10 (New Revised Standard)
3
Whoever teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that is in accordance with godliness,
4
is conceited, understanding nothing, and has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words. From these come envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions,
5
and wrangling among those who are depraved in mind and bereft of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. a
6
Of course, there is great gain in godliness combined with contentment;
7
for we brought nothing into the world, so that b we can take nothing out of it;
8
but if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.
9
But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.
