1 Timothy 6:4-11

4he is conceitedG5187 and understandsG1987 nothingG3367. InsteadG235, he has an unhealthy interestG3552 inG4012 controversiesG2214 andG2532 disputes about wordsG3055, out ofG1537 whichG3739 comeG1096 envyG5355, strifeG2054, abusive talkG988, evilG4190 suspicionsG5283, 5and constant frictionG3859 between menG444 of depravedG1311 mindG3563 who are devoidG650 of the truthG225. These men regardG3543 godlinessG2150 asG1510 a means of gainG4200.1

6Of courseG1161, godlinessG2150 withG3326 contentmentG841 isG1510 greatG3173 gainG4200. 7ForG1063 we broughtG1533 nothingG3762 intoG1519 theG3588 worldG2889, soG37542 we cannotG3761G1410 carryG1627 anything out of itG5100. 8ButG1161 if we haveG2192 foodG1305 andG2532 clothingG4629, we will be contentG714 with theseG3778.

9Those whoG3588 wantG1014 to be richG4147, howeverG1161, fallG1706 intoG1519 temptationG3986 andG2532 become ensnaredG3803 by manyG4183 foolishG453 andG2532 harmfulG983 desiresG1939 thatG3748 plungeG1036 them intoG1519 ruinG3639 andG2532 destructionG684. 10ForG1063 theG3588 love of moneyG5365 isG1510 the rootG4491 of all kindsG3956 of evilG2556. By cravingG3713 it, someG5100 have wanderedG635 away fromG575 theG3588 faithG4102 andG2532 piercedG4044 themselvesG1438 with manyG4183 sorrowsG3601.

11ButG1161 youG4771, OG5599 manG444 of GodG2316, flee fromG5343 these thingsG3778 andG1161 pursueG1377 righteousnessG1343, godlinessG2150, faithG4102, loveG26, perseveranceG5281, and gentlenessG4240.
