1 Timothy 6:1-10 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
1
Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed.
2
Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brethren; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these duties.
3
If any one teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching which accords with godliness,
4
he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions,
5
and wrangling among men who are depraved in mind and bereft of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
6
There is great gain in godliness with contentment;
7
for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world;
8
but if we have food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
9
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.
10
For the love of money is the root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced their hearts with many pangs.
