1 Timothy 6:3-5

3 If you have leaders there who teach otherwise, who refuse the solid words of our Master Jesus and this godly instruction,
4 tag them for what they are: ignorant windbags who infect the air with germs of envy, controversy, bad-mouthing, suspicious rumors.
5 Eventually there's an epidemic of backstabbing, and truth is but a distant memory. They think religion is a way to make a fast buck.
