1 Timothy 6:4-11

4he is conceited and understands nothing, but has an unhealthy interest in disputes and arguments over words. From these come envy, quarreling, slander, evil suspicions,

5and constant disagreement among people whose minds are depraved and deprived of the truth, who imagine that godliness is a way to material gain.

6But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out.

8If we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.

9But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction.

10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

11But you, man of God, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness.
