1 Timothy 6:4-20

4he is 1conceited and understands nothing; but he 2has a morbid interest in 3controversial questions and 4disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, 5and constant friction between 5men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who 6suppose that 7godliness is a means of gain. 68But godliness actually is a means of 9great gain when accompanied by 10contentment. 7For 11we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. 8If we 12have food and covering, with these we shall be content. 913But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and 14a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For 15the love of money is a root of all 16sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have 17wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

11But 18flee from these things, you 19man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, 20faith, 21love, 22perseverance and gentleness. 1223Fight the good fight of 24faith; 25take hold of the eternal life 26to which you were called, and you made the good 27confession in the presence of 28many witnesses. 1329I charge you in the presence of God, who 30gives life to all things, and of 31Christ Jesus, who testified the 32good confession 33before Pontius Pilate, 14that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the 34appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15which He will 35bring about at 36the proper time--He who is 37the blessed and 38only Sovereign, 39the King of 40kings and 41Lord of 42lords, 1643who alone possesses immortality and 44dwells in unapproachable light, 45whom no man has seen or can see. 46To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

17Instruct those who are rich in 47this present world 48not to be conceited or to 49fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, 50who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. 18Instruct them to do good, to be rich in 51good 52works, 53to be generous and ready to share, 1954storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may 55take hold of that which is life indeed.

20O 56Timothy, guard 57what has been entrusted to you, avoiding 58worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called “knowledge”--
