4he is 1conceitedG5187 and understandsG1987 nothingG3367; but he 2hasG3552 aG3552 sickG3552 cravingG3552 for 3controversialG2214 questionsG2214 and 4disputesG3055 aboutG3055 wordsG3055, from whichG3739 comeG1096 envyG5355, strifeG2054, abusiveG988 languageG988, evilG4190 suspicionsG5283, 5and constantG1275 frictionG1275 between 5peopleG444 of depravedG1311 mindG3563 and deprivedG650 of the truthG225, who 6supposeG3543 that 7godlinessG2150 is a meansG4200 ofG4200 gainG4200. 68But godlinessG2150 actually is a meansG4200 ofG4200 9greatG3173 gainG4200 when accompaniedG3326 by 10contentmentG841. 7For 11we have broughtG1533 nothingG3762 into the worldG2889, soG3754 we cannotG1410G3761 takeG1627 anythingG5100 outG1627 of it, eitherG3761. 8If we 12haveG2192 foodG1305 and 13coveringG4629, with theseG3778 we shall be contentG714. 914But thoseG3588 who wantG1014 to getG4147 richG4147 fallG1706 into temptationG3986 and 15a trapG3803, and manyG4183 foolishG453 and harmfulG983 desiresG1939 whichG3748 plungeG1036 peopleG444 into ruinG3639 and destructionG684. 10For 16the loveG5365 ofG5365 moneyG5365 is a rootG4491 of allG3956 17sorts of evilG2556, and someG5100 by longingG3713 for it have 18wanderedG635 awayG635 from the faithG4102 and piercedG4044 themselvesG1438 with manyG4183 19griefsG3601.
