1 Timothy 6:4-11

4he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and disputes of words, out of which arise envy, strife, injurious words, evil suspicions,

5constant quarrellings of men corrupted in mind and destitute of the truth, holding gain to be [the end of] piety.

6But piety with contentment is great gain.

7For we have brought nothing into the world: [it is] [manifest] that neither can we carry anything out.

8But having sustenance and covering, we will be content with these.

9But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many unwise and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and ruin.

10For the love of money is [the] root of every evil; which some having aspired after, have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

11But thou, O man of 1God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness of spirit.
