1 Timothy 6:6-12

6But godlinessG2150 with contentment isG1510 greatG3173 gainG4200: 7for we broughtG1533 nothing into the worldG2889, for neither can we carryG1627 anythingG5100 out; 8but having food and covering we shall be therewith contentG714. 9But they that are minded to be richG4147 fallG1706 into a temptationG3986 and a snareG3803 and manyG4183 foolishG453 and hurtful lustsG1939, such as drown menG444 in destructionG684 and perdition. 10For the love of money isG1510 a rootG4491 of all kinds of evilG2556: which some reaching after have beenG1510 led astray from the faithG4102, and have pierced themselves through with manyG4183 sorrows.

11But thou, O manG444 of GodG2316, fleeG5343 these thingsG3778; and follow after righteousnessG1343, godlinessG2150, faithG4102, loveG26, patience, meekness. 12FightG73 the goodG2570 fightG73 of the faithG4102, lay holdG1949 on the lifeG2222 eternalG166, whereunto thou wast calledG2564, and didst confessG3670 the goodG2570 confessionG3671 in the sight of manyG4183 witnessesG3144.
