1 Timothy 6:10-16

10For 1the love of money is a root of all 2sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have 3wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many 4griefs.

11But 5flee from these things, you 6man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, 7faith, 8love, 9perseverance, and gentleness. 1210Fight the good fight of 11faith; 12take hold of the eternal life 13to which you were called, and for which you made the good 14confession in the presence of 15many witnesses. 1316I direct you in the presence of God, who 17gives life to all things, and of 18Christ Jesus, who testified the 19good confession 20before Pontius Pilate, 14that you keep the commandment without 21fault or reproach until the 22appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15which He will 23bring about at 24the proper time--He who is 25the blessed and 26only Sovereign, 27the King of 28kings and 29Lord of 30lords, 1631who alone possesses immortality and 32dwells in unapproachable light, 33whom 34no one has seen or can see. 35To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
