1 Timothy
Chapters 6:4-10
Revised Version 1885
4he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.
6But godliness with contentment is great gain:
7for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out;
8but having food and covering we shall be therewith content.
9But they that desire to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.
10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
