5 constant wrangling by people of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who consider godliness to be a means of gain.
6 But godliness with contentment is a great means of gain.
7 For we have brought nothing into the world, so that neither can we bring anything out.
8 But if we have food and clothing, with these things we will be content.
9 But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and a trap and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge those people into ruin and destruction.
10 For the love of money is a root of all evil, by which some, because they desire it, have gone astray from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains.
11 But you, O man of God, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patient endurance, gentleness.
