1 Timothy 6:4-11

4he is 1conceitedG5187 and understandsG1987 nothingG3367; but he 2hasG3552 a morbidG3552 interestG3552 in 3controversialG2214 questionsG2214 and 4disputesG3055 aboutG3055 wordsG3055, out of whichG3739 ariseG1096 envyG5355, strifeG2054, abusiveG988 languageG988, evilG4190 suspicionsG5283, 5and constantG1275 frictionG1275 between 5menG444 of depravedG1311 mindG3563 and deprivedG650 of the truthG225, who 6supposeG3543 that 7godlinessG2150 is a meansG4200 of gainG4200. 68But godlinessG2150 actually is a meansG4200 of 9greatG3173 gainG4200 when accompaniedG3326 by 10contentmentG841. 7For 11we have broughtG1533 nothingG3762 into the worldG2889, soG3754 we cannotG1410G3761 takeG1627 anythingG5100 out of it eitherG3761. 8If we 12haveG2192 foodG1305 and coveringG4629, with theseG3778 we shall be contentG714. 913But thoseG3588 who wantG1014 to getG4147 richG4147 fallG1706 into temptationG3986 and 14a snareG3803 and manyG4183 foolishG453 and harmfulG983 desiresG1939 whichG3748 plungeG1036 menG444 into ruinG3639 and destructionG684. 10For 15the loveG5365 of moneyG5365 is a rootG4491 of allG3956 16sorts of evilG2556, and someG5100 by longingG3713 for it have 17wanderedG635 awayG635 from the faithG4102 and piercedG4044 themselvesG1438 with manyG4183 griefsG3601.

11But 18fleeG5343 from theseG3778 thingsG3778, you 19manG444 of GodG2316, and pursueG1377 righteousnessG1343, godlinessG2150, 20faithG4102, 21loveG26, 22perseveranceG5281 and gentlenessG4239.
