1 Timothy 6:5-10

5and constant friction between 1people of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who 2suppose that 3godliness is a means of gain. 6 4But godliness actually is a means of 5great gain when accompanied by 6contentment. 7For 7we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it, either. 8If we 8have food and 9covering, with these we shall be content. 9 10But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and 11a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10For 12the love of money is a root of all 13sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have 14wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many 15griefs.
