1 Timothy 6:6-11

61But godlinessG2150 actually is a meansG4200 of 2greatG3173 gainG4200 when accompaniedG3326 by 3contentmentG841. 7For 4we have broughtG1533 nothingG3762 into the worldG2889, soG3754 we cannotG1410G3761 takeG1627 anythingG5100 out of it eitherG3761. 8If we 5haveG2192 foodG1305 and coveringG4629, with theseG3778 we shall be contentG714. 96But thoseG3588 who wantG1014 to getG4147 richG4147 fallG1706 into temptationG3986 and 7a snareG3803 and manyG4183 foolishG453 and harmfulG983 desiresG1939 whichG3748 plungeG1036 menG444 into ruinG3639 and destructionG684. 10For 8the loveG5365 of moneyG5365 is a rootG4491 of allG3956 9sorts of evilG2556, and someG5100 by longingG3713 for it have 10wanderedG635 awayG635 from the faithG4102 and piercedG4044 themselvesG1438 with manyG4183 griefsG3601.

11But 11fleeG5343 from theseG3778 thingsG3778, you 12manG444 of GodG2316, and pursueG1377 righteousnessG1343, godlinessG2150, 13faithG4102, 14loveG26, 15perseveranceG5281 and gentlenessG4239.
