1 Timothy 6:3-19

3If anyone 1advocates a different doctrine and does not 2agree with 3sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine 4conforming to godliness, 4he is 5conceited and understands nothing; but he 6has a morbid interest in 7controversial questions and 8disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, 5and constant friction between 9men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who 10suppose that 11godliness is a means of gain. 612But godliness actually is a means of 13great gain when accompanied by 14contentment. 7For 15we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. 8If we 16have food and covering, with these we shall be content. 917But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and 18a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For 19the love of money is a root of all 20sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have 21wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

11But 22flee from these things, you 23man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, 24faith, 25love, 26perseverance and gentleness. 1227Fight the good fight of 28faith; 29take hold of the eternal life 30to which you were called, and you made the good 31confession in the presence of 32many witnesses. 1333I charge you in the presence of God, who 34gives life to all things, and of 35Christ Jesus, who testified the 36good confession 37before Pontius Pilate, 14that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the 38appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15which He will 39bring about at 40the proper time--He who is 41the blessed and 42only Sovereign, 43the King of 44kings and 45Lord of 46lords, 1647who alone possesses immortality and 48dwells in unapproachable light, 49whom no man has seen or can see. 50To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

17Instruct those who are rich in 51this present world 52not to be conceited or to 53fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, 54who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. 18Instruct them to do good, to be rich in 55good 56works, 57to be generous and ready to share, 1958storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may 59take hold of that which is life indeed.
